  Hello there:-)
  
  We have recently wrote article explaining how to easily swap designs in Rife theme. It works exactly in same way in FatMoon https://apollo13themes.com/switch-designs-rife-theme/
  
  However I believe you want to change your homepage more then design, so for that you can switch your homepage to about us 2 http://rifetheme.com/fatmoon-ottawa/about-us-2/ and work on it. You can swap homepage as expalined here http://apollo13.eu/docs/apollo13_framework_theme/#adding_frontpage
  
  Tell me does it help?
  
  With kind regards.

  Thanks for your assistance,
  
  Actually, I am aware of this thing. But my Question is Currently I am in 'Ottawa' design - It is activated. I just want to import only the home page, portfolio page for example homepage from 'Osaka'.
  
  If I start the process with design importer as per the setup with import configuration. - Once I click the import button (Other design - Osaka) - What happen?.
  The current activated design - Ottawa' is change or not?.
  
  If anything collapse happens at the time of import other design? Because I don't want to change the Ottawa design. I just want to import pages from other design.
  
  Please assist me.
  
  Thanks,
  Rajasekaran

  OK, if you just want pages from other demo then in Design importer select options:
  Import demo content & Clean up after import
  
  Pages will show up in your admin panel after import.
  
  With kind regards.

  Hello,
  My case is exactly the same as this.
  I have my client's site ready and I just want to modify the homepage of the LONDON theme to the homepage of the OSAKA theme.
  I did import demo content & clean up after import and nothing happened.
  I checked the log and this appears:
  Page "Home" already exists.
  
  How do I only import the homepage of the OSAKA theme for my site?
  
  Thank you and I await feedback.

  Hello there:-)
  
  In this case, try to removing your page named "Home" first, and remove it from trash also.
  Then it will be able to import.
  
  Hope that help :-)

  Hello again,
  
  Follow your suggestion, imported the homepage of Osaka but the characteristics of the slider, as well as the layout of the top (logo, menu and social networks) are those of the London template.
  
  What my client wants is precisely this change: the top and the slider of Osaka, the rest of the info on the homepage is to leave.
  
  Waiting feedback

  I am not sure I understand you precisely here.
  
  So you want just look of "header" (logo & menu part) from Osaka? To get it, do it as explained here https://apollo13themes.com/switch-designs-rife-theme/
  
  This will import only settings of Osaka Design.
  
  However, you can achieve same thing by just switching few options in
  Appearance ▸Customize ▸ Header settings ▸ Type, variant, background
  
  Variant - One line, logo on side
  Content width - Narrow
  
  Next in Customizing ▸ Header settings ▸ Main Menu▸ Main Menu▸Enable
  
  With kind regards.

  From what i see you want to disable preview image, right?
  
  You can switch between different arrows here: http://nimb.ws/AK0MPZ , just select one without the preview.
