Where did the "Site Wizard" go? :O

How do I make a new site from my old DNN 8.x.x site? :O

The vendor will have a manual for this. If you buy a theme from Mandeeps for instance, you can read how to import on https://www.mandeeps.com/...-template-in-dnn-911

Ohhh, I guess the DNN 8 site template method was much better

Why was it changed? :(

I don't know... "Better" is very much subjective in this instance.  It was replaced in the persona bar by DNN Corp before the persona bar was back-ported to DNN Platform from Evoq.  

The new import/export tool is quite powerful.  I dare say far more powerful than the previous site wizard, but both have their pros and cons.  For those of us that have used DNN for a while, the first time using the import/export feature will feel clunky and weird.  :D
