Exporting and importing a local site to/from a zip archive
At times, you may need to copy or move a local siteA managed collection of documents, folders, and resource files on the local file system that you intend to publish as a Web site. to another computer—either yours or that of another person. Although you can do so using the file copying/moving functions of Windows, it can be easier and more convenient to use the commands built into Namo WebEditor to do the job. When you export a local site, Namo WebEditor automatically packages all its files into a compressed zip archive, so you only need to send or copy one file to the other computer. Then you or the other person can use the Site Manager to automatically unpack the zip archive and save the local site on the second computer.
