Is this feature disabled?

Deploy Content is a Commerce Vision multisite feature that must be enabled by Commerce Vision.

Also requires:

  • Product Maintenance online-maintained enabled (if Product Features is used)
  • LTS 2022.3.

Overview

For multisite control, deploying site CMS Administrator and Content Administrator roles can can copy over a product's details to destination sites. Note that this content is non-lockable. Content Manager roles on these sites can always rollback changes or add, edit or delete deployed product details. 


What can be deployed?

In general, data maintained when Product Maintenance is in Online mode can be deployed.

  • Product Information
  • Category links for deployed products

  • SEO fields 

    • Only editable SEO fields on the Maintain Product page can be deployed.

    • If Product Maintenance mode is ERP integrated, uneditable ERP-generated fields are not deployed.

    • To avoid duplicates, an SEO URL already existent on the destination site cannot be deployed. Deployment of all content for the product will fail.

    • Product image files are deployed.

    • Products not already on destination sites cannot be deployed.

  • Note: Although product ribbons can only be edited in ERP-mode, a ribbon applied to a product will be deployed. 


  • Custom field deployment rules:

    • Online-maintained custom fields only

    • Non-existent fields are added on destination sites

    • Existing fields on destination sites will be updated with deployed data if fields share the same name, type and length

    • For "display type HTML" fields with images, these will be deployed as well.
    • Deployment of custom fields for a product is all or nothing. You cannot choose to deploy one field and not another. 
    • Deletions cannot be deployed

    • After deployment, a dictionary refresh will automatically be done

  • Product media (images and videos)
  • Product Features
  • Accessories
  • Alternates
  • Product Variant details.
