Configure Metadata: DigitalExperience (sfdc_cms__site)

Purpose

These configuration files create net-new, default DigitalExperience content records (sfdc_cms__site type) for a Digital Experience React Site. They are not intended to edit or modify existing DigitalExperience content. Use these templates only when provisioning a brand-new React site.

The appContainer: true and appSpace fields in content.json are what make this a React site rather than a standard LWR site. The appSpace value follows the format {namespace}__{developerName} and must match a deployed UIBundle metadata record.

File Location

The DigitalExperience directory contains only _meta.json and content.json. Do not create any directories other than sfdc_cms__site inside the bundle.

digitalExperiences/site/{siteName}1/sfdc_cms__site/{siteName}1/_meta.json
