  1. Mapping Breakdown –

    Map the blog title, category/tag, featured images, published date, content, and author from the preview.

  2. Review and publish

    your content when you’re ready! 🙂

Once the scraping is complete (usually 10-20 minutes for 1,000 posts), you can import each post individually or in bulk. Note: All posts will initially be imported as drafts.
