The most effective options for moving content between two environments are remote repository-based content sharing and a UI-based content import/export button. Remote repositories allow for automated, consistent, and scalable content transfer between environments, which ensures that complex workflows and dependencies are maintained. Utilizing a UI-based import/export button provides a straightforward and user-friendly method to export and import content seamlessly without requiring manual intervention or deep technical knowledge. Copying the content backup and downloading/uploading content items separately are less efficient and riskier methods due to potential human error and the complexity of handling backups directly.
