Copy and paste Pages/Services/Components to other project?

Sorry, I tried the workaround you suggested, but I couldn't make it work as expected.
If I click on the option to "export as Appery.io plugin" then uncheck "Export entire project" to select a specific Custom Component; it seems the option "Add this plugin as project template. It will be available during project creation step" is no longer clickable.
Am I missing something?
Thank you in advance!

Carlota,

Do you want to export whole app or some component inside this app?

My question is related to the possibility to backup and restore a custom component. From the documentation I learned that if I export it as a plugin then I can "backup" it (see the screenshot I attached on my previous comments) but I could not find the option to "restore" it; just in case I make some changes afterwords but then I realize I want to undo them.
This plugin "backup" option is intriguing for me, I do not see what can I do with the backups.
Thank you in advance!

Hello!

If you saved your project as Plugin, there should be an option to create app from plugin

Thank you for your feedback. But as i explained before, i am using a custom component and when exporting it as a plugin i cannot add it as a project template. So my question is: can i save a version of a custom component/backup a custom component, then modify this custom component, and if needed restore from the saved version/ restore from backup the original version of this custom component?
Thanx!

Hello Carlota!

Sorry, just to ensure we are on the same page...
[quote:] i am using a custom component and when exporting it as a plugin i cannot add it as a project template[/quote]to add it as project template you need to export entire project and I guess you are trying to export custom component only as shown on screenshot below

In this case you can try saved plugin in Create new--From Plugin section

Is this what you are looking for?

First of all, thank you for your fast response.

I think I found a way to restore a Custom Component 'old version': I must remember to export it as an Appery.io plugin everytime I introduce changes on it, and save it with an incremental name, so if I implement 5 versions, I will have 5 Plugins. This way if I want to use an old version of the custom component, I just need to get the "old version" associated plugin.

I mean, on Appery.io Plugin tab:
-there is no "Version" option.
-the "BackUp" option seems to be useless because I did not find the way to restore the backup.

If you find a better approach, please let me know
Thank you for your feedback!

Hi Carlota

The way you described above seems to be right.

[quote:]there is no "Version" option[/quote] no unfortunately
[quote:]the "BackUp" option seems to be useless because I did not find the way to restore the backup[/quote]do you mean restoring app from backup? Here is how to do that http://devcenter.appery.io/documentat...

First of all, thank you for your feedback!
When I explained that "the "BackUp" option seems to be useless because I did not find the way to restore the backup"; I was referring to plugin backup option, in the following context: I export a custom component as a plugin; I backup it, then I make changes on the custom component, and then I try to restore the backup.
If you find the way to restore a custom component from its plugin backup please let me know, and thank you again for your help!
