Your Data
Export, import, and delete -- your content is a file you own.
Your Enine site's content lives in a single portable file that you can export at any time, re-import, or delete for good.
Export
Download your whole site as a single file at any time.
Exporting produces a complete file of your site's content: every word, every setting, and references to every image.
- Click on Sites in your top navigation bar.
- Open the site menu and find the Export section.
- Choose a format:
- .json (content) -- the full content file, the same format Enine Sites imports.
- .yaml (content) -- the same content as YAML.
- .csv (content) -- content as a spreadsheet-friendly table.
- .zip (media) -- every file in your Media Library.
- .zip (all) -- content in every format plus all media, in one archive.
- The file downloads to your computer.
The JSON export is the canonical one: it is complete, human-readable, and re-importable. Version-control it, script against it, or keep it as a backup.
Import
Bring a site file back into Enine Sites without a conversion step.
Enine Sites imports the same JSON file it exports, so a backup is always a working copy of your site.
- Click on Sites in your top navigation bar.
- Open the site menu and click Import.
- Choose your exported file (.json, .yaml, or .csv). The JSON export is the recommended one.
- The content is loaded into the site.
Re-importing an export restores your content byte for byte. Combined with regular exports, this gives you undo at the whole-site level: export before a big change, and import the file if you want to roll back.
Delete Site
Remove a site permanently. Export first.
Deleting a site removes it permanently, including its content, media, and settings.
- Export your site first (see Exporting Your Site). Deletion cannot be undone, but an export can always be re-imported later.
- Click on Sites in your top navigation bar.
- Open the site menu and click Delete Site.
- Type the site's full domain to confirm, then click Delete site permanently.
Once confirmed, the site and its pages stop being served. If you kept the export, you can recreate the site later by importing it. If Delete Site is not visible on your account, email hello@eninesites.com and we will handle it.
