Duplicating 1 site across 4 other site
I have 1 master site that will be populated across 4 other sites.

There will be some slight modifications in content & site structure in the other 4 sites. (Majority of the contents across all 5 sites are the same)

The Kentico setup in the system should be Enterprise - supporting multiple site. Each site is using different domains.

1. Is it possbile to do the following so that I do not need to rebuild each site using the templates and re-enter the contents?

>Export site from Site Admin
>Copy zip file from Export folder to Import folder
>Import site using the zip file from Site Admin
>Change site name and code name
>Return to CMS and change site's content and template accordingly.

Hello,

yes, you can use suggested procedure to copy the site. Just please notice, that templates are shared for all sites in one instance of Kentico CMS. I.e. if you would need to add some web part onto the template for one site only, you would need to clone template as ad-hoc template or save the template as new one.

Best Regards,
