During installation, StagingPro will create two complete environments for you but you can decide what to do after this based on your specific needs.
The Content Migration screen allows you to move only that data which is applicable to what you want to test. For example, if you were changing from an Easter to a Christmas theme the chances are pretty good that you wont won't need to move products, categories, and other store settings.
It is important that you be aware that the content migration screen will only move data that does not already exist in the destination. For example, if you attempt to move 10 brands from source to destination but one brand already exists, 9 new brands will be created in the destination store but the one record that already exists will fail.
In order to overwrite data you can use the Understanding the Product Catalogue screen which deletes and recreates data.
1) Choose the environment where you want to migrate FROM.
