What is Sitecore content serialization?

Sitecore content serialization saves items such as templates, renderings and settings as files, so they can be stored in source control. Developers can then move changes between environments in a controlled way. Serialization also makes deployments repeatable, which lowers the risk of manual errors when releasing new features.

This supports a normal development process: changes are reviewed, tested and deployed together with code. It also helps new developers set up a working environment quickly.

Sitecore provides tooling for serialization, including the Sitecore CLI.

Our engineers handle this in platform implementation.
