Send feedback on this help.The BrightWork Template Design Sync enables you to make design changes in a template and pull those changes into the sites that are bound to the template.
|
Note: |
Sites are automatically bound to the template used to create them. Once a site is bound to a template, it can pull the changes to the template into the site via the Template Design Sync. The site to template binding can be removed and a site can be manually bound to another template. Use the Determine Template Usage feature to find out which sites are bound to the template. A Site Sync Log list is created every time a sync is ran. The log contains information about important changes that were made and also includes any errors or warning messages that were generated by the sync. |
Some items are automatically synced and some are optional. Due to certain SharePoint design restrictions, and other practical reasons, not all changes to the template are synced.
The items below are grouped accordingly, for a more functional break down of these items, as they are laid out on the Sync Design page, please see the Sync Site with Template topic.
The following items are automatically synced:
Site features

Note: |
Site Features that depend on hidden lists and libraries are not fully synced - see the Not Synced section for more information. |
