Deploy - Content Staging

The Deploy module is designed to allow users to easily stage and preview content for a Drupal site. Deploy automatically manages dependencies between entities (like node references). It is designed to have a rich API which can be easily extended to be used in a variety of content staging situations.

Drupal 8

Deploy has been re-designed for Drupal 8 and is based on the Multiversion and Replication modules. This creates a very flexible and efficient content staging framework for Drupal 8! See the below presentations for more details:

The Drupal 7 version is a complete rewrite providing a flexible API.

Drupal 6

There are a few blockers for a stable D6 release. See the issue tag beta blocker and #526936: Find best way to proceeding with 6.x-1.x.

Deploy for Drupal 6 makes extensive use of the Services 6.x-2.x module for communicating with remote sites. (As of 07/18/2011, Services 6.x-3.x is incompatible, and there are no plans to make it so.)

Please read the installation and usage documentation before using the Deployment module. There are a lot of moving parts and while its not "hard" to setup, there are several steps to go through. Also, you can watch this screencast:
