Staging and Global Objects - Thoughts Brenden?

Ha, never had a question directly asking for my opinions! Thank Kelly!

When you say global objects are you referring to objects which are assigned to several sites or no sites at all? You can limit that view by going to Objects and clicking on Website in the tree on the left. But technically if you edit one template and it is assigned to multiple sites, then it should or would show for all sites. Same is true with Page/Document Types. The only way to get around this I know of is to create a unique page/document type or template per site. Not really ideal or how the CMS was supposed to be used but its a workaround.

:-) Thought you would like that ;-)

lets say I add a static text webpart to site A. In the staging/task list for Site A it appears...but it also appears in Site B task list and Site C task list. Since it is getting updated when I sync Site A, it would be nice for it to not show up in the list for Site B & C. Or, is something related to the webpart actually updated in relation to the 2 other sites?

Ok I see what you're saying now. I don't know why when you update a template it also has a webpart staging task as well. That template detail (webpart configuration info) is part of the template and not stored with the webpart. That might be a good question for Kentico Support to answer. When you look at the details of the webpart task, what does it show? Is there any change on the actual webpart definition within the Site Manager (version history should show this)?

These are the 2 tasks created for Site A. Site B & C show only the "Update Web part 'Static text'.

Details of the task:

And, I don't see version history in the sitemanager/development/webparts for that webpart
