Offline Promotion of Content to Production

The remote publishing feature is very useful when staging and production environments are "connected". In case, they are not connected, meaning the network firewall prevents any connections from staging to production due to the company's security policy then the remote publishing will not be an option. In this event, the pages can be promoted to the production "offline".

After the pages and its content are finalized, an administrator can "export" the pages from staging environment which will generate a lar file. The same can be copied over to the production server and imported into its corresponding community/organization. The "Manage Pages" option for a community/organization contains a tab for "Export/Import" which allows an administrator to export or import the page including its content, permissions and the like.
