Content Bundles

foundry content export site.zip creates a portable, standalone ZIP package. It does not alter the normal Foundry project layout. The export contains a foundry-content-manifest.yaml and a content/ directory with supported documents and media files.

The manifest records the format version, selected theme, and a SHA-256 digest for every included file. Admin user records are never included. Runtime configuration, session data, plugins, backups, and generated public output are also outside the package.

Import with:

foundry content import bundle site.zip

Foundry extracts the package into a temporary directory, rejects unsafe paths, symbolic links, unsupported formats, and checksum mismatches, then verifies the declared theme. The destination must already have that theme installed and selected. Only after validation succeeds does Foundry atomically replace the existing content/ directory. If replacement fails, the previous directory is restored. Markdown and WordPress imports remain available for source-format migration and do not use this package format.

examples/starter-content/consulting/content/ is a professional, provider-neutral first-site template. Copy it into a new project, replace the example contact address, then export it when you need a reusable bundle.
