I am trying to export the xml data from one journal to another by using Native XML Plugin.  
There the XML file is successfully exported but when I try to import it in another journal it shows the “FILE SIZE ERROR” while uploading. Whereas, the file is only of 3.2 MB large.

Please let me know how can I fix this issue?  
I have another query with import/export is that can I export all the data including article galleys, cover page from Journal A and import the same to Journal B?  
if yes then how can I do that?

I shall be thankful to you.  
Regard  
Naveen Malik

Hi Naveen,

[This topic](https://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/native-xml-plugin-import-file-size-error/29542) explains the file size import issue.

You can export galley files by including the URL for the galley file in your XML file.

Best,
