Archiving and Export

Import of archives back into RSpace

Archiving and Export in RSpace is straightforward. After completing the Export dialog, the resulting file is made available to download or store. Export Options provides a step-by-step guide on how to export documents and how to export all of your work, while Export Formats describes the various export formats.

To summarise:

XML or HTML files are available temporarily for download, via a link sent to the user in an RSpace notification. Respond promptly to this notification and click the link it contains to download your export file, as the link will become inactive after a period of time.
PDF and .DOC files are added to the Exports section of the Gallery, and from there can be used in documents (and therefore shared with other RSpace users), viewed as single read-only documents, sent to file repositories, or downloaded for sharing.

Ability to publish PDFs and DOCs through an externally accessible link was discontinued in RSpace 1.123 (2.23), as part of the modernisation and code cleanup of the Gallery. This is a separate feature to Publication of Documents, which is unaffected.

Import of archives back into RSpace

You can import XML zip archives that were previously exported from RSpace, which will add all documents as new documents into RSpace. The step-by-step guide can be found under "Importing RSpace XML archives" in Importing Content into RSpace.
