[ad_1]
I have inherited an E-commerce site using Woocommerce.
I want to make new changes via a staging site and then do a partial push to live to avoid deleting order data. I will exclude [these tables](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Database-Description) for that. I think this will keep me safe, thoughts?
I also want to ensure no email or form data is lost. Is there data that is stored in tables for this? If so, which tables do i exclude?
Any best practice advice would be gratefully received.

We use [WP All import-export plugin](https://www.wpallimport.com/) (I bought its lifetime license) to export all the content from the production site (WooCommerce included) to a development site, and then push all the staging site updates to a production site.
