Deployable category data:

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

Step-by-step guide

1. In the CMS, go to Settings → Settings → Feature Management → Content → Deploy Content.

3. In Deployment, toggle ON deploy for Category Maintenance.

To deploy category data:

1. Go to E-commerce → Products & Categories → Category Maintenance.
   
   
2.  Do you want to deploy data from a single category or the same data types from multiple categories? NOTE - The multiple categories option is only available when your site is in Online Mode.
   
   1. Online mode: Multiple categories - on the top right of the page, select Deploy the button. Single category - find the category, hover over its Options, then select Deploy.
      
      
   2. Integrated mode: Single category only - find the category, then click Edit next to it. In the Maintain Category page, hover over the Options button, then select Deploy.
      
      
3. In the Deploy modal, toggle ON the data type(s) to deploy. If your site is in Integrated mode, category hierarchy data cannot be selected.
   
   
   
4. Toggle ON the category to deploy. If you're deploying multiple categories, toggle ON each required category. 
   
   
   
5. Click Next.
