Saber-ImportExport

A vendor plugin for Saber that allows webmasters to backup & restore web content for their Saber website using a simple zip file.

With this plugin, you'll be able to make changes to your website HTML, CSS, LESS, & Javascript within a development environment, then upload the changes to a production environment without having to republish the Saber .NET Core application again. Simply download the exported zip file from your development environment and import (upload) the zip file into your production environment from the Website Settings section within Saber.
