Page Import Considerations
Large Pages
Pages with many assets (50+) may take longer to import. The system handles them fine, but expect:
- Extended import time
- More images to transfer
- Larger data processing
Complex Layouts
Some layouts may need adjustment after import:
- Canvas (DND) - Positions transfer well
- Grid layouts - May need minor tweaks
- Custom CSS - Review for compatibility
Custom HTML/Embeds
If your pages include:
- Custom HTML blocks
- Third-party embeds
- iframes
These will transfer, but verify they work after import.
Selection Summary
Before proceeding, review your selection:
Summary Panel
Shows at the bottom of the screen:
- Pages selected - Count of selected pages
- Total images - Images to be transferred

Proceed to Import
When ready:

Tips for Selection
- Start small - Test with a few pages first
- Check previews - Verify content before importing
- Note complex pages - They may need post-import attention
- Skip duplicates - Don't import the same content twice
- Consider order - Import homepage first to test
Changing Selection Later
You can always:
- Run migration again for additional pages
- Pages already imported won't duplicate
- New pages add to your existing content
