You don’t have to do all of that with Dreamweaver CC. Actually, this feature has been around for a few versions now, making life easy for a few years. In the video below, I’ll show you how to go about exporting and importing sites in Dreamweaver CC.

It turns out, it really isn’t all that hard. All of your settings are managed within the site manager. With Dreamweaver CC, you have one major window where you can manage all of your site folders. All you have to do to export a site and its settings is click the export button and then choose to keep all of your settings. It’s that easy!
