Can I import a page that was exported...

Hello,
It's been quite a while since I have been in the forum. Health issues and Life.

I was updating a website for a fish camp and realized the rates page had disappeared. I guess the site owner had not checked the site after I updated it last year. The page is not even listed on the slide out menu, it's just gone.

Is there a way to take that page out of a previous export and get it back into the site file in Site Designer? I don't want to have to rebuild the entire page if possible.

Thanks for any help or pointers,
Ernie Hodge

You cannot just 'import it back'.
What I would have done is open the exported page in the HTML Editor to see how it was built. Then in SD create the page structure and elements, add the contents and use the same class names and IDs as were used before. With a bit of luck you may have the styles already in the 'main.css'. So then check if it looks right, and if there is the odd style missing, then add it.

I've had to do things like that a couple of times before, and it wasn't too much work.

Thank you Inger. I'll give that a try.
