Send a Copy of a Site to a Client's or Colleague's Account in MODX Cloud

This article is intended for those who wish to send a copy of a site to another account in MODX Cloud. This might be to share with a colleague, to send to your company account or a completed project to a client. If you want to transfer the ownership of a site to a client's account, we can help with that. 

Sending a Cloud instance does not copy over web rules, Add-ons including custom domains, or robots.txt configurations. Those have to be manually redone in the destination Cloud at this time.

  1. Go to Cloud Edit View for the Cloud that you wish to share. (To get there, choose Edit Cloud from the grid on the Clouds page.)send-cloud-1.png

  2. Click Send Cloud, located in the right-hand navigation bar.send-cloud-2.png

  3. Enter the Account and Snapshot Name into the Send Cloud dialog.

    Account is the name of the account that you wish to send a snapshot of this Cloud to. (As displayed in the top navigation bar of that account, or in your dropdown list of accounts.)

    The Snapshot Name you enter will be the name of this snapshot in the Vault of the account you are sharing to.send-cloud-3.png

  4. Click the Send Cloud button. A confirmation message will be displayed to let you know that the snapshot is on it's way.send-cloud-4.png
