Add linked sites
Sites that share an organisation Id are treated as in a network. You may not always want to deploy a set of changes to all available sites. What sites a deployment instance can select from is set in Feature Settings.
To add sites that content can be deployed to:
Go to Settings → Settings → Content → Linked Sites.Click Configure.
Deploying lockable objects
The contents of a lockable object must be in locked status to be deployable. if unlocked, only the unlock status is deployed. This is used to allow users on linked sites to edit content. You'll know when an object is deployable by the displayed Deploy button or link under Options. If your site uses Page Preview and an object is deployed before Publishing, it will be deployed in the Draft mode.
Go to the locked object.Locate the Deploy button and click it.
In the Deploy modal, select individual objects to deploy or toggle Select All.
Click the Next button.
Select one or more available deployment sites.
Click Next.
Check the deployment results. NOTE - The result for each individual site is displayed separately.
You can check the deployment details for more information. On the Results modal, click the link.
