Commit Changes to a Blueprint

When you save changes to a blueprint in Content Studio, you save the changes in the Content Engine database and nowhere else. In order to save changes in your git repo, you must commit them using the Snapshot Blueprints form as follows:

1. Click on the tab in the editor pane to display the Snapshot forms.

2. Click on Blueprints:

   

3. Click on the publication's Commit button. The following Commit form is then displayed:

   

   This form contains a list of all the uncommitted changes you have made to the branch. "Change" here means changed widget or section. If you have changed several fields in a widget, for example, you will not see one entry for each field, just a single entry for the whole widget.

   Note that if you have previously created new widgets or templates in a different branch and then changed branch, then those new objects will not have been deleted, and will therefore appear in the list of uncommitted changes along with any changes that you actually made in the current branch.

4. Check the changes you actually want to commit.

5. Enter a message describing your changes in the large edit field at the top of form. You must enter a message here, otherwise you will not be allowed to commit anything.

6. Click Commit.

Note that committing only commits changes to your local repo. If you are using a personal development image of Content Engine, then the changes will not be visible to any other users. In order for the changes to be visible to others you must push the changes to the global repo using the Merge function (see Merge a Blueprint).
