Use of Drupal Views Data Export in Website Migration
Imagine needing to migrate a website and extract all publicly accessible images associated with its content. By creating a view with the “Views Export” display and setting the format to CSV, you can easily generate a list of image URLs. This list can then be imported into your new site for seamless image migration.

- Exporting content and configuration: Extract content like blog posts, products, or custom settings for easy import into your new website.
- Generating data reports: Export specific data sets for analysis or sharing with developers during the migration process.
