Promotion Maintenance allows you to export promotion files that contain the details of the promotion and the products included in the promotion. This is can be used to share a promotion file with another store. Promotion files need to be in XML format to be imported into Minfos.
Note If you wish to re-use a completed promotion, use the copy promotions function, which will copy all products and preserve the reporting data for the original promotion. See Copy promotions for more detail.
