Data Transfer Guide

Pineapple Builder doesn't offer direct export tools, so data transfer requires manual steps. First, copy all text content from each page into separate documents. Download images from Pineapple Builder's media library to your computer. For SEO data, manually record meta titles, descriptions, and URLs. In Atoms, use the text-prompt interface to describe your website structure, then paste your copied content into the generated layouts. Upload images to Atoms' media library and insert them into appropriate sections. Forms and contact information must be recreated manually in Atoms' form builder. This manual approach ensures all content transfers accurately despite the lack of automated migration tools.
