Multisite questions

Hey, I got some questions about multisite using tailor.

  1. Solved, I found translatable: false. I just expected to find this on the multisite documentation page.

  2. I am not quite sure how sync mode works. I suspect that it will only work for data entered the first time I hit save or also when I publish an element? It is very intransparent, some values of one language are shown in another language but others are not (probably those I changed after the initial save/publish).

If this is the case and it is a one-shot, then wouldn’t it be better to simply copy values from one language to another? It is not ideal if a field is blank but then can either be blank or mirror the value of another language and I can’t be sure about it.

  1. Is solved, I had issues testing language detection mode only to just find out that it was my browser cache to store the redirect :slight_smile: It works!

Here is my element:

One bonus question: Can I include drafts in a Collection query? In other words are there ways to preview such elements in production but hide them from public?

Hi @McDev

The sync mode will ensure that every record is paired with another record across every site within the group. So when a record is created, it is copied to every other site.

You can include drafts using the withDrafts() method, there is also withOnlyDrafts.
