|---|---|---|---|
| Settings | The homepage settings default values configuration | ||
| Settings rules | The settings rules with different values for different roles and users | ||
| User settings | Personal settings values for a user, for example the selected default homepage | User display name | |
| Properties | Homepages properties. The same properties that are displayed in the Properties page. | ||
| Published widgets | Published widgets | Default title | |
| Published widget permissions | Permissions for a published widget | ||
| Standard widget permissions | Permissions for standard widgets | ||
| Published pages | Published pages | Default title | |
| Published page connections | The connections that users have to the published pages | ||

| Private pages | Private pages for users | User display name | |
| Standard page permissions | Permissions for a standard page |
When exporting a page from the page menu, you can convert any published widgets to include the published configuration to standard widgets or to preserve references to the published widgets:
- If you keep the references, the exported page then works only in that specific environment.
- If you convert the published widgets to standard widgets with configuration, the
published configuration for those widgets is added as a local publish configuration
( includes only settings, no publish configuration).
It is possible for these widget settings to be locked after an import. To enable them again, click the widget menu icon (…) on the widget title bar, select and enable all settings.
Note: The widget must have settings, and the widget enableSettings parameter must be set to true in the widget manifest.
