Hi,

typically you would include "/content" in a separate project and use it to bootstrap your content on a fresh instance. Or you would use it to create sample pages that are basically never changed once deployed. If you do manually change anything, it would be a new page. You could then try and redeploy your content package with the merge option.

Hi,

Could you please find filter.xml file in your content project and share (Structure should be ../META-INF/vault/filter.xml)?

Most probable that you have replace mode on /content/mysite folder. It it is true, try to remove this line.

You can find more details about vault filter here

Thanks,

Illia

If you are just building OSGi bundles - run mvn clean install., Then manually deploy the bundle (you need to delete the old bundle too). This will not wipe out any other content.
