Hi All, I’ve just transferred my RW8 to a new site and had a problem because it could locate some of the photo/images. So I (laboriously) transported all the source documents back on to me new laptop, reconnected the resources and replaced any images that hadn’t transferred over. Then I successfully republished the site. But now I look again and all of the work that I’d done has disappeared and not been retained. Can anyone offer any advice about this? Mark ---

You could check this: ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/e/9/e986645f55a3347823deb106bbb1f9e7823c559c.png) The ressources are then part of the project file and should not disappear again. Do this on your old Mac first, then copy the project to your new Mac. ---

Thanks Jan, much appreciated. I think, at the stage I’m at, rthe best thing may be to put all the missing resources back in to place on the new Mac. If I then secure it by checking copy into tbe document, should it stay in place? And where do I find that check button? Mark ---

That option should be there. Look under “advanced” on the left side under your pages. ---

Not you could talk to @dan and @tpbradley and take it up with RealMac support. ---
