AEM 6.5 AP13 | Package overwrites content

Question

Dear Folks,
 
I am using AEM6.5 SP13.
 
When I create package and reinstall, it overwrites the content changes done on pages, either new component added or modified existing, even page properties also getting overwrites.
 
In earlier versions of AEM package was merging the content. Not sure if this is AEM6.5 SP13 specific issue.
Any help on this is highly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Pradeep

@pradeepdubey82 I believe by default it would be in replace mode, you may need to write a filter.xml to change it to merge.

Hi @pradeepdubey82
I don't think any changes in this release related to crx package manager.

6.5 SP13 release notes:https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/release-notes/service-pack/6.5.13.html?lang=en

In AEM, filter.xml file used to filter the target paths of a package. The filter can be changed here.

<workspaceFilter version="1.0">
    <filter root="/etc/map" mode="merge" />
</workspaceFilter>

replace : This is the normal behavior. Existing content is replaced
 completely by the imported content, i.e. is overridden or deleted
 accordingly.The normal mode"
