When you have content on your Cloud environment and clone down your project to your local machine, you need to restore the content. You will also need to use the restore option when setting up new Cloud environments.
The restore option can be used to always ensure you work with the latest content when delevoping new features.
You can restore the content in the following ways:
The first time you run your project locally you will have the option to restore your content and media before going to the Umbraco Backoffice.
Run the website locally.
Click the green Restore button to restore all the content nodes and media files.
Wait till the process completes. This might take a while depending on the amount of content and media you have on your project.
Select Open Umbraco to go to the Backoffice.
All your content and media is now available in the Umbraco Backoffice.
Use this option when setting up new Cloud environments. The Workspace restore option restores all the entities (content, media, forms, datasources, and prevalue sources from Umbraco Forms) of a workspace via the Backoffice.
Log in to the Umbraco Backoffice on the environment you want to restore the content and media.
Click ... and select Do something else or Right-click the Content Tree in the Content section.
Choose Workspace Restore.
Select the environment from the Restore this workspace from dropdown.
Click Restore from <environment_name> and wait till the process completes. This might take a while depending on the amount of content and media you have on your project.
Click Okay to complete the process once the restore is done.
Right-click the Content tree and choose Reload to see your content in the tree.
The Tree restore option restores all the entities available for the selected tree in that section. It's available in the Content, Media, Members, Forms (root node of Forms, Datasources, and Prevalue sources), or Translation (Dictionary menu if configured) sections. Using Tree Restore, you can choose to restore only content. This will restore any media that’s referenced in that content, but it won’t attempt to restore the full media library.
Log in to the Umbraco Backoffice in the environment you want to restore the tree.
Click ... and select Do something else or Right-click the Content Tree in the Content section.
Choose Tree Restore.
Select the environment from the Restore this tree from dropdown.
Click Restore from <environment_name> and wait till the process completes. This might take a while depending on the amount of content and media you have on your project.
Click Okay to complete the process when the restore is done.
Right-click the Content tree and choose Reload to see your content in the tree.
