Import Klaw data

Klaw administrators can import Klaw metadata into another brand-new instance (or existing) of Klaw.

How this can be helpful?​

If you currently have a running instance of Klaw in AWS and are considering migrating to Azure, the ability to export Klaw data becomes highly advantageous. In such situations, you can export the Klaw data from your AWS instance and import it into your Azure instance.
