Deploy This is part of Commerce Vision's multisite website features. It can only be used in Online Category Maintenance mode. Requires 4.38+. |
Overview
For multisite control, administrator roles on the deploying site can deploy category structures to
destination sites. Users on these sites also cannot add, edit or delete a locked object. If a whole campaign is locked, none of its objects can be changed.
When locking is enabled, locked/unlocked buttons appear against lockable objects. The locked button automatically displays for locked campaigns. Unlocked buttons display only on hover.

Overview
You can only deploy category re-structure and changes to a top level category down if its category code already pre-exists on the target site.
Image Added
Use case: CV Franchise HQ has added new product sub-categories to a pre-existing top level category. They want their changes to be distributed to all franchisee sites. Franchisee sites will be able to alter the deployed category details should they want to localise to suit.
