Studio’s Configuration Overrides

Crafter Studio comes with pre-configured settings that you may want to override. To view the pre-configured settings in Crafter Studio, in your Authoring installation, go to CRAFTER_HOME/bin/apache-tomcat/webapps/studio/WEB-INF/classes/crafter/studio and open the file studio-config.yaml.

To override any of the pre-configured settings, in your Authoring installation, go to CRAFTER_HOME/bin/apache-tomcat/shared/classes/crafter/studio/extension and add the settings you would like to configure in the file studio-config-override.yaml. The override file have some settings already listed that you may want to override in Crafter Studio:

The following section of Studio’s configuration overrides allows you to do the following:

  • studio.repo.basePath allows you to set your repository base

  • studio.repo.siteSandboxBranch allows you to set the default branch to be used by sandbox

  • studio.repo.published.live and studio.repo.published.staging allows you to set the branch for your publishing targets
