1. Import All Project Settings/Data 2. Set as Tier

As far as I am aware, this is not something that is an option with SER to import data and settings from a project. If it's there, please let me know.

Import all project settings and Data
We could have a checklist like we do for the DELETE function, I guess?
My reason for this: Since the beginning, I've created tiers that may have been different than the higher tier they are linked from. 

So, instead of making real tiers with SER, I created other projects that may have been different or copied from still other projects, and then made them tiers manually.

Does this matter? They are not [Tiers]? If I change the name of the project, does that make them [tiers]? 
Better Q: Does a [tier] behave differently? Like if a higher tier loses a link   will the [tier] lose links associated?

Set as Tier
So if it does matter, can we also have a way to set a project as an "official" registered tier, if it is not already when we first created it?
If [Tier] does do something, i am guessing this may not be possible.

    Just create a tier like you want , and back it up.
    next time you want to use it just restore the back up and rename it, add new articles , emails , etc

    @royalmice - Hmm... I am not sure I am explaining this clearly. 
    Sorry about that. I  must have had a long day. :|

    I had both a question about how SER functions, a question if there is a feature, and a proposal if there is not.
    OK. 
    My question, first: Does making a "Tier" via SER's duplicate function differ from "stacking" any other project to another manually by the "Use Verified URLS..." button?

    OK. Next, I wanted to know if there was a way to import all project data and settings from one to another BUT if, and only if, adding a tier without SER indicating [Tier] in the Project name via SER Duplicate Project (Add a Tier) has NO effect on how SER treats tiers, in any way.

    If adding a Tier via Duplcate is different in NO WAY than if I just stick a tier onto a first via Project Data/Data Pane button, then there is no need for this at all, and I can just keep doing this the same way.

    Thanks to anyone reading my post.  My apologies if this cluster of posts was muddled! :worried: Not trying to waste your time!

    OK.

    So then when I make a Tier via SER Duplicate Menu Option, as oppose to making a Tier by pointing at another project via checkbox, the ONLY difference is that SER automatically adds [Tier] when I use duplicate and that is IT? No other differences? If that's the case this entire post idea is needless!

    You are absolutely right, @Deeeeeeee. The '[Tier]' tag is purely for visual organization in your project list.
    Under the hood, GSA SER treats any project the same way: it just looks at the 'Target URLs' field. Whether you manually check the box to target another project's verified URLs, or you used the 'Duplicate as Tier' menu, the engine processes it identically. There is no automatic 'cascading' link removal if a higher tier loses a link.
    Save yourself the overthinking, your current method of manually linking projects is completely valid and works exactly as intended!
