Copy content from an existing site to a new site
- On the existing site, go to the dashboard (wrench icon in the top right from any page).
- From there, go to the “Sharing” tab.
- Set the “Duplicability” option at the bottom to “Yes” to allow the book to be duplicated, then save the settings with the button in the bottom right.
- Still in the dashboard view, go to the “My Account” tab
- At the bottom of that page, create a new book by setting a new title and checking the box for “Duplicate of another book?”. That will prompt you to select a book to copy, so select the original Scalar “book”.
- Click the “Create” button to create the new duplicate book. In testing, we’ve found that this will often drop you into a page with a lot of error messages, but the content still gets duplicated when you go back to your dashboard from scalar.fas.harvard.edu
- Take a look at the new site to make sure everything looks okay. All media and relationships between content should be preserved by the duplication.
- When you’re satisfied that the book was successfully duplicated, go back to the sharing settings for the original book and turn off the option to allow duplication.
