In a client/server environment, content objects are never really deleted; they still exist on the server. Instead, they are removed from the Library folders so that they are not visible within the Library itself. However, they will appear in the Deleted documents view, from where developers can display and restore them. The only way they can be truly deleted is by the Administrator purging them. The advantage of this is that you can always (up until the point that the Administrator has purged it) “un-delete” a content object, if you realize that you deleted it by mistake.
To restore (un-delete) a content object, carry out the following steps:
The document is restored to the Library, and placed back in the folder it was originally deleted from. This location is also shown in the Original location column in the Deleted documents view. This will create another version in the version history for the content object—just as deleting it did. This is shown in the screenshot below:
If you are working in a stand-alone environment and want to share your developed content with another user, you will need to export it from your Library so they can import it into their Library. If you are a developer working in a client/server environment, it is unlikely that you will need to export your content because all users will be able to access it in the same Library. However, even then there may be a need to export your content, for example:
If you are working with multiple libraries, then it is recommended that you always export/ import folders, and not simply Outline Elements and their contents. This will reduce the possibility of elements that appear in multiple outlines being overwritten on successive imports.
Whatever the reason, UPK makes it easy to export content. In this section we’ll look at just how to do this.
You would not normally use this approach to export content for translation.
You can use the Export function to export content objects as an archive, publishing options, sound files, and content objects for localization. This section covers exporting content objects as an archive.
You can export any type of content object to an archive: Modules, Sections, and Topics, as well as Web Pages and Packages. You can also export any of the objects in the System folder, such as Templates and Publishing Packages.
To export a content object, carry out the following steps:
As the content is exported to a single file, you can easily send the file to another Developer for importing into their UPK Library, save it to CD as a back-up, and so on. How to import content objects is described next.
