Deploy Content is a Commerce Vision multisite feature. Only online-maintained category data can be deployed. 

Requires 2022.3.


Overview

For multisite control, deploying site CMS Administrator and Content Administrator roles can publish copy over online-maintained category data to valid destination sites in their network. ERP-integrated data cannot be deployed.


Info
titleCheck Category Maintenance mode

When the deploying site is in Integrated mode:

  • only one category's data can be deployed at a time 
  • category hierarchy (tree structure) data cannot be selected for deployment.

When a destination site is in Integrated mode (and the deploying site is in Online mode):

  • deployment of category hierarchy (tree structure) data will fail to deploy. The Content Deployment Log will display this error message:


Tip

Think of the deployment process as completing one or more deployment instances.

  • In a deployment instance, changes in selected data type(s) and items are copied over to one destination site.
  • For a successful deployment instance, all changes must be successfully deployed to a destination site. If one change fails to deploy, the whole deployment instance will fail. No changes will be copied over to this site.
  • If you selected multiple destination sites, you are initiating multiple deployment instances. 

What can be deployed?

NOTE - Category data is non-lockable. This means content managers on destination sites can always rollback your changes or make further edits. 

  • new category
  • category image, deletion of category image
  • category banner, including image
  • category tree structure (excluding products) - Online mode for both deploying and destination sites
  • category product hierarchy - category must already exist on destination site
  • category product
  • category details
  • category SEO details
  • category custom fields
