Importing Pages

1. Install Icons
The icon pack is located in the package you downloaded or in your downloads panel, to install it on your existing site go to Components >> SP Page Builder >> Pages >> Custom Icons, select the ZIP file of icon and it will be installed automatically.
2. Export Page

- In new modal select Include Media Data and click in Export Now. This will export the entire page including settings, styles, and images in a ZIP file.
3. Import Page
Now, in the existing site, we are going to import the page we just exported, for which we have to follow the following steps:
- Create a page from: Components >> SP Page Builder >> Pages >> Add >> New Page, in modal add page name and save
- From editor (Backend or Frontend) click in Page Options (3 dots) >> Import >> From your computer, select the ZIP file we exported, click Open, and the page will be exported.
Missing sections?
After importing pages from QuickStart, there may be sections on your site that don't have the content you see in QuickStart, or they may display different content. This is because they are Joomla Module addons, and they use the module's ID to display their content. If the ID doesn't exist, nothing will be displayed, and if the ID exists, the content will be displayed, even if it's a different type. To resolve this, you must recreate the module, then edit the page and select the correct module.
