Getting Started with DoubleSync
Step-by-step guide to install, configure, and start syncing with DoubleSync.
How do I install DoubleSync?
Install via NuGet: run 'dotnet add package DoubleSync.Umbraco' in your Umbraco project. Then add your license key to appsettings.json under the DoubleSync section. Build and run — DoubleSync will appear in your Umbraco backoffice.
Which versions of Umbraco are supported?
DoubleSync supports Umbraco v14 and later (the Bellissima backoffice). It requires .NET 10 or later. Earlier versions of Umbraco (v8-v13) are not supported. If you're on an older version, consider upgrading first.
How do I set up sync between two environments?
In the DoubleSync dashboard, configure your environments by setting the snapshot path for each one. Environments can share snapshots via a shared network folder or Azure Blob Storage. Take a snapshot on the source environment, then import it on the target.
What is a snapshot?
A snapshot is a point-in-time export of your Umbraco content, schema, media, and/or members and users. It's stored as a set of JSON files. Snapshots are used to compare environments and sync changes between them. They're lightweight and human-readable.
