Migrating Sites and Assets from Earlier Versions

From NetObjects Fusion, you can access an older website by creating a new website based on a template or by opening the website's .nod file. The best method is to convert the old website to a template in the earlier version of NetObjects Fusion and create a new website based on this template in NetObjects Fusion. To learn how to create a new website from a template, see Working with Templates.



  • If your website contains blank pictures, select Verify All File Assets from the Assets menu in Assets view. See Verifying File Assets for information.
  • If an older website file was created on a different computer, and you want to open it in NetObjects Fusion on your new computer, you must save it as a template (.nft, .zip) first. Open the older website file in its original version of NetObjects Fusion on the machine where it was created, export it as a template, copy the template folder to your new computer, and then create a new site from the template.

Saving a website as a template is the only way to move a website from one computer to another without losing asset information.

To learn how to create a new website from a template, see Creating a Site from a Template.

  • If you opened an older website file in NetObjects Fusion or created a NetObjects Fusion website file from an older template and the style is missing, see Adding Your SiteStyles for information.
