Looking for best practice for Content Synchronization for Experience Manager

[#1]

We are looking for a best practice suggestion for Content Synchronization for Experience Manager.   Code vs content and then production down?   What are others doing?

Thanks,

@Eric_261,

1. It's best practice not to alter Production code in crx/de, rather than to manage the code with regular deployments with Maven.
2. When pulling production content down to a BETA or Staging environment, you can use the package manager. This method ensures that the content author's routines are not stopped during the time of content migration.
