What does this control?

The Seed Engine reconstructs seed-owned pages, settings, services, templates, and integrations without copying private customer or transactional data.

How do I complete it?

  1. Open Configuration → MBOS → Seed Engine.
  2. Confirm the Dependency Check reports MBOS, Bookly, Jetpack CRM, and the active block theme as Detected.
  3. In Upload / Validate, select Choose File and upload the approved MBOS seed ZIP package.
  4. Select Validate Uploaded Package.
  5. Review the Validation Report and Sensitive Data Scan. Resolve any blocker before continuing.
  6. Select Dry Run and review the predicted changes.
  7. Select the acknowledgment checkbox labeled I understand this applies seed-owned reconstruction data.
  8. Select Apply Seed and wait for the import to finish. Do not close or refresh the page.
  9. Review Last Export / Import Result and confirm the package completed successfully.
  10. Use Repair Public Routing only when seeded pages exist but their public URLs do not resolve correctly.

Why is this useful?

Validation and dry-run checks help prevent a damaged, incompatible, or unsafe package from changing the site.

How do I verify it?

  • The Current Status panel shows a detected Seed Engine and valid package state.
  • The Validation Report contains no blockers.
  • The final import result reports success.
  • Seeded pages, service cards, settings, templates, and automations appear as expected.
  • Open the public website and test its primary navigation and landing page.

Important:

  • The Seed Engine is a reconstruction tool, not a backup-restoration tool.
  • Never apply a seed package that fails validation or reports sensitive data.
  • A second screenshot in this article shows the validation, dry-run, and apply controls.
