TABLE OF CONTENTS


If there are a large number of resources, tables, or a lot of information in a Legacy module or Classic Portal page, it may be prudent to take a backup to save on your computer in case it needs to be restored at a later point (for example, in case of accidental deletion of data). The steps for these processes are outlined below.

Tip: When working in the editor, should something go awry press <Ctrl>+z several times until everything is back as it should be. This will only work if done just after the data has been edited.
