Content Project how to stop it overwriting content?

[Sutty100]

I'm starting an AEM project from scratch which is new for me and I'm wondering how to stop all my content being wiped everytime I run mvn -PautoInstallPackage install as the content package is being installed and wiping out everything below mysite/en/..

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.

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.
