TheSitecore serialization pluginprovides theserialization commandwith the short formser1.This command handles the serialization of items in and out of a Sitecore instance1.You can use thewatchsubcommand tomonitor changes to content items in a Sitecore instance and automatically serialize the changes to your file system1.This way, you can ensure that you don’t forget to pull changes made within a developer-managed location1.

In Sitecore XM Cloud, if an administrator-level user cannot see the Layouts or Templates nodes in the content tree, it is likely because the “Hidden items” option is not selected in the Content Editor’s View tab. These nodes are typically marked as hidden to streamline the interface for users.

References:This solution is consistent with common practices in Sitecore content management, as indicated by community discussions and troubleshooting guides that address similar issues with hidden items in the content tree1.

According to the Sitecore XM Cloud Documentation for Developers1, the deployment log displays the progress, status, warnings, and errors of an XM Cloud deployment. From the deployment log, you can also cancel a running deployment, rerun a failed deployment, promote the deployment to another environment, download logs, or open the XM Cloud Dashboard. The logs include information about:

• Provisioning– the process of creating and configuring the resources required for the environment, such as the Content Management and Content Delivery instances, the database, the storage, and the network.
• Build– the process of compiling the source code, running tests, and generating the deployment package.
• Deployment– the process of deploying the package to the environment and applying any configuration changes.
• Post Action– the process of performing any additional tasks after the deployment, such as publishing, indexing, or clearing caches.

According to the Sitecore XM Cloud Documentation for Developers1, security roles define how different users access different types of records in Sitecore. To control access to data and resources, you can create or modify security roles and change the security roles that are assigned to your users. A user can have multiple security roles. Security role privileges are cumulative.Users are granted the privileges that are available in each role that’s assigned to them2.

This makes it easier for you to manage your security system because you do not necessarily have to assign access rights for each item in your content tree.Instead, you only need to assign and manage the access rights on the parent items and then specify whether their descendants can inherit these access rights3.
