Manage CSS Only theme Settings

BindTuning's CSS-Only themes are available for Classic sites and/or pages inside SharePoint On-Premises 2013, 2016, 2019, and SharePoint Online, where all the corresponding settings are stored in SharePoint property bags.

We have a graphical user interface to manage the properties per site collection, however, there is no interface to backup or remove the properties from the site.

In this article we have detailed instructions to save a backup of your settings into an XML file, load the backup to the site collection and delete the property bags from the site collection.
