Manage CMS Connections

In your CMS Connect workspace, you can enable and disable connections and change their load order.

Change the load order of CMS connections

If your site has multiple CMS connections, you can decide the order in which they’re loaded. The order mostly affects any CSS and JavaScript in your connections. Consider their dependencies on each other, and set the load order accordingly.

For example, suppose one of your connections has the JavaScript library jquery, and another connection relies on jquery. Set the connection with jquery to load first so that the other one can load.

Header and footer always render first regardless of the load order of your connections.

Disable and enable CMS connections

You can’t delete a CMS connection once it’s been created, but you can disable it. Disabling a connection means:
  • Its content isn’t rendered
  • Its load order is ignored when connections are loaded

If you try to add content to a page for a connection that’s disabled, you’ll get an error message.

  1. Open Experience Workspaces.
  2. Click CMS Connect.
  3. Click Action Selection Arrow for the connection you want, and choose Enable or Disable.
