| Oct 17, 2016 at 19:48 | comment | added | Adam Seabridge | Thanks Mark. It may be my only option to do on each environment: Export the old rendering as a package then delete it through Sitecore. Use update references option when deleting to point to the new rendering. Import old rendering back. Repeat on Staging and Production. Then when doing a Unicorn Sync on the next deployment some changes will already have gone across to Staging / Prod (updates to add reference to new rendering on standard values etc). But where the final renderings have been updated on content and reference this then doing this on Prod beforehand will update these too. Seem ok? | |

| Oct 17, 2016 at 16:30 | comment | added | Adam Seabridge | Ok so essentially what your saying I need to do here is backup (serialise) my item, then delete it - use the out of the Box -> link to another item to update the references to my new item. Then re-import my item from the backup? My concern is that I need to do this on Staging and Production also and there will be additional content there that we don't have in our current development environment and I need to ensure this happens 100% for all references to this item. | |
