Feature request:Database download

Current Problem
Currently, when downloading the database from the production environment to the pre-production environment, it only gives you the option to download the author database.

This causes the content that was published to become corrupted since it only appears in Author but with the metadata in the CF as if it were published, which in turn prevents this content from being published.

Request to Adobe
The optimal approach when downloading production databases is to allow downloading both author and publish, thus ensuring that the content in the source and destination environments remains identical.

Modified Page

I have a page that is published but has undergone modifications: author
