Replicate cleanly a page between 2 different instances of BookStack

Describe the Scenario

Let's say I have 2 instances of BookStack, perhaps one destined to be more restrictive than another in terms of access (and I don't want to use roles etc).

Question : is there a known ("official"-ish, elegant) way to replicate a page (or book, shelf..) on-demand from instance A to instance B whitout manual export import ? Is there an existing functionnality that does something like that "cleanly" (eventually through automation at some point) ?
If not, perhaps through a SQL query that will not break often hopefully on update of Bookstack?
Would this typically require for both instances to be on exact same version of Bookstack?

Thanks for your help.

Hi @fabm22,

The most "official" means of this currently would be the newly added import/export ZIP functionality:
https://www.bookstackapp.com/blog/bookstack-release-v24-12/#new-importable-export-format

Though this does not yet have automation support, since it's not yet part of our API (wanting some feedback/testing before proceeding to roll out to the API), but that is something I'd want to add some time this year.
Even with this added, it may only be ideal for one-way data replication. Things get a lot more complex with dual-direction syncing.

Otherwise, it could be possible to automate replication using the REST API of the two instances, but there can be edge-cases to deal with which can make this a little involved (image/attachment/tag handling).
