Experience Fragments - MSM - Links reference update behavior

Hello All,

 

I'm trying to understand experience fragments in AEM, installed wknd project on local and verifying MSM features. 

I've observed the links in the live copies are always pointing language master links which are configured at master level experience fragments.

Expected behaviour: When we rollout AEM content page, links in live copies will automatically updated based on the locale but it's not as updated when we rollout experience fragments. 

Am I missing anything here?

OOTB, experience fragments creates live copies within same level and you need to have custom solution in place to create live copies with folder structure same as content.

 

Another thing is, even though you have custom solution to create XF live copies with the same structure as Content (eg: WKND content structure), OOTB - when you rollout /create Live copy of Experience Fragment, links will not get updated automatically.  So to fix this, you can create custom rollout configs which will update the links on live copies upon rollouts.

 

Please check below for custom rollout creations:
