<p>Often I want to test in my local environment with content other people created on the production site. So it would be great to copy e.g. an entry from production.</p>

<p>I've found:</p>

<li>Smith <a href="https://plugins.craftcms.com/smith" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://plugins.craftcms.com/smith</a> for copy, pasting, and cloning of matrix blocks, but <em>unfortunately</em> only within one Craft installation.</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Is there a smart way to quickly exchange content from production with a local dev environment and vise versa?</strong></p>

Often I want to test in my local environment with content other people created on the production site. So it would be great to copy e.g. an entry from production.

I've found:

* Smith <https://plugins.craftcms.com/smith> for copy, pasting, and cloning of matrix blocks, but *unfortunately* only within one Craft installation.

**Is there a smart way to quickly exchange content from production with a local dev environment and vise versa?**
