Question

How do I update the CDN version on my Akumina site? Is there a way to automate updating the CDN version across all my subsites?

Answer

The CDN version is specific to the site itself, so in order to get the updated CDN version across multiple subsites, each one needs to be updated.

You can manually update the site's CDN version through the site's modern settings panel. This is best for single site updates or testing on a single site. The steps to do this are below (Updating the CDN version - Manually).

It is also possible to automate this setting change across multiple subsites by following the steps listed below (Automating updating the CDN version across all subsites).

Updating the CDN version - Manually

  1. From the front end of the site, open the Akumina tray and open the debug panel.
  2. From the debug panel, navigate to the "Modern" tab on the left and enable the "Toggle Command Bar" setting.
