Import Content From Site

In order to import material from existing course sites into one site, the Import From Site function will need to be used under Site Info.

Screenshot of Site Info menu options.

Note: In order to import content from a tool from one Sakai site to another, the tool must be enabled in both of your sites. See adding tools.

There are three different options available for importing data/users. Click the links below to follow instructions for the desired option.

  • Replace Data: Replaces all data on current site with data from selected site. 
  • Merge Data: Combines data on current site with data from selected site. Note: This is the recommended option. 
  • Merge Users: Adds users from selected site to list of users on the current site. Note: Only works for manually-added users, not those added by official rosters from ConnectCarolina.
