Import a Site Builder template from a file
If we have an exported Site Builder template file, use the Import Template action in Site Builder to make the Site Builder template available to administrators and website creators.
Before we can import a Site Builder template, the target server must have IBM WebSphere Portal, IBM Web Content Manager, Content Template Catalog, and Site Builder (page and library) installed and visible.
Do not import a Site Builder template that uses embedded page templates stored in the Portal Site library. Conflicts between duplicate page templates will cause the imported Site Builder template to break on the destination server.
Follow these steps to import an exported Site Builder template file located on a local or external drive that we have access to. If the Site Builder template or page templates already exist on the server, they are overwritten. If a required library named in the Site Builder template file already exists on the server, we will not be able to import the Site Builder template. Site Builder prevents custom libraries from being overwritten accidentally.
- Open Site Builder and click Import Template.
- Browse to the site template file, select it, and click Open.
- Click OK.
Results
