Save Content to a Catalog Archive

Administrators can copy or move content you create in one environment to another environment using the catalog archive or unarchive feature. Archiving saves one or more objects or folders that contain multiple objects to a .catalog file on your local file system.

If you don’t select Keep Permissions, permissions are excluded. This can be useful if you're migrating content from a test environment and none of the permissions you assigned to test users are required in the production system. When you unarchive, the content inherits permissions from the parent folder on the target system.

When you unarchive, timestamp information is retained and you can choose to only overwrite items that are older than those in the catalog archive.

If you don’t select Keep Timestamps, the original age of content isn’t saved or considered when you unarchive the content.

You can upload the .catalog file at a different location.

1. On the Classic Home page, click Catalog.
2. Select one or more folders or objects to copy or move to another catalog.

   To select multiple items, press and hold the Ctrl key, and click the folders or objects you want to copy.

3. In the Tasks pane beneath the Folders pane, click Archive.
4. Select Keep Permissions to save the permission settings, if any.
5. Select Keep Timestamps to save information such as time created, last modified, and last accessed.
6. Click OK.
7. Select Save File.
   If you want to, change the name of the catalog file.
8. Select a folder and click Save.
