Will I lose any of my CMS/content if I transfer a site from a plan to another account by downgrading to starter and then upgrading it back to a paid plan in Webflow?
When transferring a site from one plan to another, such as downgrading to the Starter plan and then upgrading back to a paid plan in Webflow, there are important factors to consider regarding the CMS content.
Here's what you need to know:
CMS Plan Limitations: The Starter plan in Webflow does not include CMS hosting, meaning you won't have access to the CMS collections, dynamic pages, or the ability to make CMS template pages. Downgrading to the Starter plan will result in the loss of access to your CMS content until you upgrade back to a paid plan that includes CMS hosting.
Export/Import Options: To preserve your CMS content during the transfer, Webflow provides an export feature. Before downgrading to the Starter plan, export your CMS collections and their content. After upgrading back to the paid plan, you can then import the previously exported CMS data into your site. This ensures that your CMS content is not lost during the transition.
Existing CMS Data: If you do not export your CMS content before downgrading to the Starter plan, any existing CMS data will not be accessible or recoverable until you upgrade back to a paid plan that includes CMS hosting. It's important to take precautionary measures and backup your CMS content before making any plan changes.
In summary, when transferring a site from one plan to another in Webflow, specifically when downgrading to the Starter plan and then upgrading back to a paid plan, you may lose access to your CMS content temporarily. To safeguard your CMS content, make sure to export your CMS data before downgrading and then import it after upgrading back to a paid plan.
