How to Export Your UniLink Pages (Backup or Transfer Page Data)

Download a complete snapshot of any UniLink page as a JSON file to back it up or move it to another account.

Your UniLink pages represent hours of design work, content writing, and configuration. Before making major structural changes, transferring a client to their own account, or simply keeping a recoverable snapshot of your current setup, exporting your page data is the right move. UniLink's page export feature lets you download any page's complete structure as a portable JSON file that can be re-imported into any account. It is a simple action that provides a meaningful safety net.

What Page Export Does

Page export serializes a complete UniLink page — every block, its content, its settings, and the page-level design configuration — into a JSON file that you can download and store. The JSON format is human-readable if you need to inspect it, and machine-readable for reimport. Every block type is supported: Banner, Links, Products, Contacts, Course, Video, and all others. Block order, block-level design overrides, and nested configurations are all preserved.

The export is a snapshot in time. It captures the state of the page at the moment you trigger the export. Analytics data — view counts, click-through rates, conversion events — is not included in the export. That data is tied to the live page and its history in the UniLink platform. If you are exporting as a backup before changes, know that you are backing up structure and content, not performance history. If you need analytics data, export it separately from the Analytics section before making changes.

The primary use cases for page export are backup before major changes, transferring a page between UniLink accounts, and agency client handoffs. For agencies on the Agency plan, export is the standard way to give a client their page when they are ready to manage it independently — you export from your agency account, they import into their own account, and the page appears exactly as you built it with all settings intact.

How to Get Started

1. Navigate to Dashboard → Pages. Log in at app.unilink.us and click Pages in the sidebar. You will see all pages in your account listed with their status and last modified date.
2. Select the page you want to export. Click the page name to open it, or click the three-dot menu (⋯) on the page card in the list view. The three-dot menu provides quick access to export without opening the full page editor.
3. Click Export. In the three-dot menu, click Export. A dialog appears confirming what will be included in the export (blocks, settings, design) and what will not (analytics, published URL history).
4. Choose the format. UniLink currently exports in JSON format. The format selector in the export dialog may show additional options in the future. For now, confirm JSON is selected.
5. Download the file. Click Download. Your browser downloads a file named after your page slug with a .json extension (e.g., my-page-export-2024-11-01.json). Save it to a secure location — a cloud backup folder or a client project folder.

How to Use Page Export

1. Back up before a major redesign. Before restructuring a page's block layout or switching design themes, export the current version. If the new design does not work out, you can import the backup and restore the page to its previous state without losing any block content.
2. Transfer a page to a client's own UniLink account. Export the page from your account, then ask the client to go to their Dashboard → Pages → Import and upload the JSON file. The page appears in their account exactly as it was in yours, ready to publish at their own username.
3. Duplicate a page across accounts. If you have multiple UniLink accounts (e.g., one per brand or client), export a page from one account and import it into another. This is faster than rebuilding the page from scratch, especially for template-style layouts you use repeatedly.
4. Export multiple pages for a client handoff. Select each page you want to hand off, export them one by one, and organize the JSON files in a folder named after the client. Provide this folder to the client alongside import instructions. For bulk exports across many pages, contact UniLink support — batch export tools may be available on the Agency plan.
5. Import a previously exported page. In Dashboard → Pages, click Import, upload the JSON file, and confirm. UniLink creates the page as a draft with all blocks and settings intact. Review the imported page, update the slug if needed, and publish when ready.

Key Settings

Get the Most Out Of Page Export

The most valuable use of page export for agencies is the client handoff workflow. When you build a page on behalf of a client and they are ready to take over their own UniLink account, export gives you a clean, complete transfer mechanism. The client creates their account, you export and send the JSON, they import it, and the page is live under their own username without any manual rebuilding. The only steps they need to take are updating the slug to match their username and reconnecting any integrations (like Stripe) to their own credentials.

For solo creators, the backup-before-changes workflow is the most practical application. UniLink automatically saves changes as you edit, but it does not maintain a version history that you can roll back to a specific point in time. A manual export takes fifteen seconds and gives you a complete snapshot you can restore from. Treat it like a Save Point in a video game — take one before every major change, and you never have to worry about losing work.

Be aware of what is not included in the export. Integration credentials — your Stripe API key, your Mailchimp list ID, your pixel IDs — are stored at the account level, not at the page level. When you import a page into a new account, those integrations are disconnected. You will see the blocks that referenced them (e.g., a checkout block) but the payment processing will not work until the new account's integrations are configured. Include a checklist of integrations to reconnect in your client handoff documentation.

Exported JSON files are readable in any text editor. If you want to make small bulk changes to a page — such as updating a URL that appears in multiple link blocks — you can open the JSON, search-and-replace the old URL with the new one, save the file, and re-import. This is an advanced use case and should be done carefully, but it is a legitimate workflow for power users who need to make programmatic changes to page content without using the Dashboard UI for each block.
