This guide is for editors running a content import and owners planning a migration. Every step uses the labels you see on screen.
- Open Recovery Center and choose Import pages or Import sites.
- Upload the Capell package archive (
.zip), give the workspace a name, and optionally add a note.
- Continue to create an import session you can return to from Import sessions.
- After the archive is read, review each proposed page action.
- Keep the proposed action, skip an item, or record a note where the preview needs a decision.
- Continue to relation resolution when the page review is complete.
- Complete page review and relation resolution, then open the validation step.
- Read the errors and warnings for the package and your decisions.
- Fix the package or review decisions for anything marked as an error, then validate again.
- Warnings are safe to proceed with, but worth reading first.
- When your import links to other content (for example an author or a category), open the relation review step.
- For each imported reference, choose the matching record that already exists in Capell.
- Save your choices before you run the import, so links point to the right place.
- Use the page review and validation steps to see what will be imported.
- Check the validation summary carefully before dispatching.
- Confirm the import when prompted, then let the queued job run.
- Open Recovery Center and choose Import pages.
- Upload a Capell page package, then work through page review, relation resolution, and validation.
- Dispatch the import and watch its progress.
- If something goes wrong, you can roll the import back from here.
- Open the finished import session.
- Read the status and the list of anything that was skipped.
- Fix and re-import any items that didn’t come across.
- Open the import you want to undo.
- Roll it back to remove what it added.
- Read the rollback report to see exactly what was changed and what manual cleanup, if any, is still needed.
- Choose to create an export package.
- Confirm which resources are included before you download.
- Download the package so you can move that content to another site.
- A backup and a small test import. Always back up first, then import a small batch to confirm the mapping before importing everything.

| Imported content is not what you expected | The page review or relation decisions were incorrect | Fix the package or decisions, then create a new import session |
| Some items were skipped | The review or validation found a blocking issue | Review the session result, fix the package or decisions, and import again |
| The import session will not start | The archive was missing, unreadable, or not a valid package | Upload a valid Capell ZIP package and check the validation message |
| Images did not come across | The package did not contain usable media, or ingest rejected it | Check the rollback/result report and package media before trying again |
