Backup and restore

Export Careers Page settings to a YAML file, or import a file to restore them.

Backup & restore exports site settings to a YAML file. You can import that file later. Use this when you copy settings to another environment or keep a backup.

Logo and cover images are not in the file. Upload those images again after you import.

Before you start

  • You must be signed in.
  • These plans include this feature: Hire, Hire + Retain, and Enterprise.
  • These roles can export and import settings: Owner, Administrator, Hiring Manager, and Office Administrator.
  • Open Hire, then open Careers Page. See Opening the Careers Page.

Export settings

  1. Select Settings.
  2. Select Backup & restore.
The Backup & restore settings. Export YAML and Import YAML are on the page.
  1. Select Export YAML.
  2. Save the file.

The help text is Export or import site settings. Logo and cover images must be re-uploaded after import.

The file includes branding, languages, site sections, tracking snippets, and LinkedIn feed settings.

Import settings

  1. Select Import YAML.
  2. Choose a YAML file that you exported from Plural.

A success message shows: Imported public careers site settings from YAML.

If the file is not valid, the page shows an error. Common causes are a file that is not YAML, or an export from a later version.

After you finish

The preview shows the imported settings. Upload the logo and cover again if you use those images.

To publish the imported look, see Publishing.
