Issue

  • I am trying to export a Site. However, I receive the following error:
An unexpected error occurred with the publish process. Please check your portal and publishing configuration.

The model.resource.com.liferay.portal.repository.liferayrepository.model.LiferayFileVersion: android-chrome-512x512.png could not be exported because its workflow status is not exportable.
  • I am not able to find a reference to this file in our Site.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • The behavior is expected. Only approved entries can be exported. In case you can not find a reference to the file on the Site, we recommend checking the Recycle Bin. If the file is there, you should delete it and try the export again.
