[GeoNode-users] Copy part of the layers in a geonode instance

[Daniel Victoria]

Hi Alessio,

Good to know this export/import feature is being investigated. Will be a
nice addition. As for your suggestion, where can I get the layers JSon?
Directily from the database? I'm more of a user than a developer.

Thanks
Daneil
