This article documents the options available for making updates to a live catalog. Naturally as the catalog is live and customer facing the changes cannot be made to the live publication so there are several options available instead.
1. Clone the publication that is being used for the catalog.
2. Make any updates or page changes to the cloned publication.
3. Add to or update the cloned publication accordingly with any links, video, and so on.
4. Activate the cloned publication.
5. Create the cloned publication as a Catalog.
6. Place the catalog on a test snippet and test the publication as desired.
To deploy the changes to the live content once quality assurance is complete, there are 3 options:
- Place the new catalog on the Production snippet (this gives a new set of analytics).
- Replicate all changes on the live publication.
- Make any page changes to the live publication so it is identical to the cloned publication, delete all links in the original (customer facing) publication, “import links” from cloned publication.
Note: THIS WILL REQUIRE TAKING AN ADDITIONAL ACTIVATION - PLEASE CONTACT SUPPORT@ZMAGS.COM TO GET THE LICENSE CREDITED BACK ON THE ACCOUNT
Note: Any changes made to live publications take approximately 15 minutes to update.
