I'm getting ready for a content port and some changes were made to XPM settings in the dashboard settings menu: Settings>Inline Editing>Content Type Mappings>PublicationXYZ>Page Templates>PageTemplateXYZ

These changes were made to get XPM working with a new page template. What is the best method to port these settings to another environment? Is it included when you Content Port a Publication?

  • All the information I've found so far appears to indicate that these settings need to be manually duplicated across environments. Commented Sep 19, 2016 at 16:49

XPM Content Types are stored as Application Data attached to Publication. Normally, this Application Data is included if you use the CM Import/Export service to export/import the Publication (like Content Porter does).

Below is an example of the XPM Content Type Application Data (obtained from DXA Site Type Publication):

<configuration xmlns="http://www.sdltridion.com/2011/SiteEdit">

  • I found a post from Nuno which claimed that as well here: tridion.stackexchange.com/questions/15532/… But I was more specificially wondering; does this also include the Content Type Mappings (to Page Templates) as configured through the Inline Editing Settings as mentioned in the question.
