Import and export your block based theme design: global\/custom styles, templates, template parts and patterns.<\/p>\n\n

Easily move your custom full site editing theme design from one website to another, or from a local installation to a live site.<\/p>\n\n

Ideal for designers and developers working with the Site Editor and a block based full-site-editing theme, who have edited their block based custom styles, templates, template parts and patterns, and now need to copy that design over to a new WordPress installation.<\/p>\n\n

The Design Import\/Export plugin allows this to be done with minimal fuss, and can also be used to take regular backups of your block theme based design(s).<\/p>\n\n

Works with any full-site-editing block theme.<\/p>\n\n
