Replace System Files

If you want to replace a system file with a different version, you must import a new version of the file. When you import a system file, the content of the original system file is replaced by the content of imported new file. However, the metadata of the original system file is retained.

For backup purposes, we recommend that you first export the original file to a folder on the local server or a remote server.

1. Click a CMS in the Administration console.
2. Click Tools.

   The System File Explorer appears.

4. Browse the system folders to find the file you want to export.
5. Right-click the file and click Export to copy the file from the CMS database to a folder on the local server or a remote server.
