Add linked sites

What sites a deployment instance can select from is set in Feature Settings.

  2. Click Configure.
  3. Scroll down to the Sites section.

  4. Toggle on one or more sites from the available sites.

Deploy lockable objects

A lockable object must be in locked status to be deployable. 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.

  1. Go to the locked object. 

  2. Locate the Deploy button and click it.


  3. In the Deploy modal, select individual objects to deploy or toggle Select All.


  4. Click the Next button.

  5. Select one or more available deployment sites.

  6. Click Next.

  7. Confirm you want to deploy selected objects to selected sites, then click Deploy.

  8. A message alert will display the results of deployment. Check the deploy log if deployment was partially successful or failed.


Deploy non-lockable objects

Non-lockable objects need additional setting to be enabled for deployment.


To deploy a non-lockable object:

  1. In the CMS, go to  Settings → Settings → Content → Linked Sites.

  2. Click Configure.

  3. In Linked Sites Feature Settings, toggle ON the feature type(s) you want to deploy.  


  4. Click Save.
