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 need to move products, categories and other store settings.
1) Choose the environment where you want to migrate FROM.
2) Choose the environment where to want to migrate TO
3) Starts migrating the selected options from the source to the destination environment.
4) Design and Content Migration contains only those “graphical” interfaces that your user see’s. The website theme, images (not product images), pages and blogs will be migrated.
5) Product Data Migration is a bit more involved than other migration options and may take a while to process depending on the number of products in your catalogue. Many different options such as brands, categories, variants etc all need to be considered when moving products. For a detailed explanation of the process you can click here.
6) As you would expect, Order Data Migration is purely data associated with orders however due to PII (Personally Identifiable Information) it is not normally wise to use this data as is. For this reason StagingPro gives you the option to anonymise both order and customer information. “Fake” names and addresses will be inserted instead of the actual values meaning that a true environment can still be maintained without the risk.
7) Finally is the store settings. If you have been testing different scenarios with how your store displays, sends out notifications or even how your regional settings may affect your store you can use this option to just migrate those particular elements.
