Proper way to download older Xara website back into Xara Design Pro 18

Greetings, we built and published a Xara website and would like to download it and make it fresh with Xara Ver 18. Downloaded the entire site and opened it to find everything is out of wack. Currently running Windows 10, version 20H2 and just updated from Ver 17 to 18, Xara Designer Pro X18. Thanks in advance!

Hi

Did you save the original project file - .XAR file extension for the website - if so, it is this that you open in Xare Designer Pro X18 as it contains all the information required for the HTML to be gnerated when you export/publish the site.

Importing will load the website however as you have found it will be 'out of wack' and you have to redo all the layout etc.

Thank you for your reply. We are contacting the person that built the site on her laptop. We are hoping for the best. Have a great day!
