Changing pages at the same URL

Hello all!

 

We would like to create a whole page and then move it to the existing place and URL in our sites structure at the same live site. In other words, we would like to change out an existing live site with one we have built in a different AEM location. 

 

Is there an existing workflow around this? Any advice or potential pitfalls experienced authors can see here? (we don't want the existing site down at any point, we are concerned about impacting references of existing site, etc.)

 

Thanks in advance!
Nichole

Hi @nicholeve 

The best approach would be to use the AEM Launches for this one to create the updated content or complete site.

 

or if you have created the pages at the same level and want to move to the new hierarchy, you can also use the ACS commons tool- Renovator (https://adobe-consulting-services.github.io/acs-aem-commons/features/mcp-tools/renovator/index.html) it is used to move the bulk pages 

 

If you have more questions, can you please provide the scenario with some examples to help you better?

@nicholeve You can try using AEM launches for this.

    Test this content swap in a lower environment (stage)

    Check for broken links. This can be useful - https://kiransg.com/2022/03/26/broken-page-references-aem/

    In production, take a backup in author and publish before the swap

    Swap the content in author first, do the testing before publish.

    In worst cases, if site is broken, restore from the backup and clear the cache.

    Content freeze is recommended while doing the swap.
