How to import HubSpot into HubSpot
This article covers the steps that need to be taken to import HubSpot KB's into HubSpot:
I see you’re looking to duplicate your whole Knowledge Base setup, not just individual articles. HubSpot doesn’t have a one-click “clone entire knowledge base + settings” feature, but you can effectively copy your articles into another knowledge base using the import tools, then reapply the settings/template there.
Best available approach: copy articles into another HubSpot knowledge base
- Create or select the destination knowledge base
In your HubSpot account, go to Service > Knowledge Base and either:- Use the existing knowledge base you want to copy into, or
- Use the knowledge base dropdown in the top left and click Add a knowledge base to create a new one (set title, domain, slug, language, logo, etc.).
- Open Knowledge Base settings and start an import
- Click the settingsicon in the top navigation bar.
- In the left sidebar, go to Content > Knowledge Base.
- In the Current viewsection, open the dropdown and choose Import knowledge base.
- Choose HubSpot as the source and upload your article list
On the import screen:
- In Which knowledge base platform are you currently using, select HubSpot knowledge base.
- In the HubSpot knowledge basedropdown, select the knowledge base you want to copy from.
- Upload the required CSV file in the CSV file uploadsection (this file defines which articles to copy and how).
- Click Copy articlesto import them into your destination knowledge base.
- (Optional) Use Smart copy to pull in articles by URL
If your existing KB is live, you can also:
- Go back to the import screen and choose Smart copy.
- Enter the URL of the existing KB homepage.
- Choose whether to Import and publishor Import as a draft, then click Import.
- Recreate knowledge base settings and design
After articles are copied, open Service > Knowledge Base > Customize template and:- Apply the same template, colors, fonts, header/footer content, and categories as your original KB.
- In Content > Knowledge Base settings, match domain, slug, access (public/private), language, and related articles settings.
At the moment, these settings and template customizations need to be configured manually in the new knowledge base.
