Packages, Using
Packages are groups of Assets that are predefined to be redeployed together. It works exactly the same as the clipboard, except that you do not need to cut or copy the Assets before redeploying, or pasting, the Assets in other areas of the site.
Packages are often defined to lessen the burden of repetitive tasks. A package manager may see the need to create a package several of pages with a message board, an FAQ, and a Poll because that task is performed often.
In order to define or delete packages you must be in the Package Managers group or in the Admins group.
To create a package follow these simple steps, just go the Metadata tab of any Asset's Add/Edit form and select "Make package?". The Package will consist of that Asset and all Assets below it.
To deploy a Package:
- Point your browser at a page on the site where you want to deploy the Package.
- Enable Admin mode.
- Select the Package tab from the Admin Bar.
- Click on the name of the Package to deploy.
All Asset URLs in the Package will be made unique after being deployed.
