Duplicating datasets in admin dashboard and using CLI for imports

Is there an easy way to duplicate an entire dataset in the admin dashboard? Hoping to duplicate Contentful behavior where you can easily delete and spin up a staging env from production.

The only two ways to create a dataset are via the CLI or the HTTP API. There is some tooling for cloning and swapping datasets, but those are only available on Enterprise plans.
I should also note that we have an endpoint for exporting your dataset, but not for importing (unless you want to do it all through mutations).

Thanks, that's super helpful info! There's the
CLI NDJSON
import, right? Is the export supporting the same format?

The export through the CLI will output a gzipped tarball. There are some examples here .

Oh awesome, just tried it. Spits out
.ndjson
so should be easy to import with the CLI right away!
