Syncing Content Units

Prerequisites:

Component content units associate with component schemas. Administrators can sync schema changes to content units in Schema Designer. Schema changes don't sync with local instances of content units in Page Builder. See Editing Component Content Units for details.

Warning
To prevent lost work, ensure users log out of the CMS before running a sync. Syncing schemas sends the CMS into maintenance mode, which prevents content changes.
To synchronize a component schema with a content unit:
  1. Navigate to Administration > Schema Designer.
  2. Choose one of the following steps.
    • Select the Synchronization view. Select the schema in the Schema drop-down list.
    • Select the schema from the Component Types tab in the Management view. Click Sync in the Actions menu. The Synchronization view displays.
    • Select the schema from the Component Types tab in the Management view. Click Edit in the Actions menu. The Create/Edit view displays.
      • Click Sync in the Schema Actions menu. The Synchronization view displays.
  3. Click Find out-of-sync content units. The results display content units not synced with the selected schema.

  4. Optional: Click Analyze Change Efforts to view total required changes.
  5. Select content units to sync. Choose one of the following steps.
    • Click Sync selected to update only the selected content item(s).
      Note
      Use Ctrl+Click to multi-select content units.
    • Click Sync all to update all content units.
