Markets & Overrides

A Market is a storefront variant within an edition — for example germany, uk, or the default market. Markets let you serve different content to different audiences without rebuilding every page for each one.

The default market and inheritance

Every edition has exactly one default market. It holds the base content. Other markets inherit every page from the default automatically — you don’t copy anything. If you only ever edit the default market, every market shows the same pages.

Default market   /            /about        /contact
                   │             │              │
germany (inherits) ▼             ▼              ▼
                  (same /)    (same /about)  (same /contact)

A market only differs from the default where you override a specific page.

Overrides

An override is a market’s own copy of a page at a given path. To create one, open the page while that market is active and choose Customize for this market. From then on:

• Editing the override changes only that market. The default — and every other market that still inherits — is untouched.
• The override is frozen from the default at the moment you create it; later changes to the default do not flow into a market that has its own override at that path.

If you want a market to go back to following the default, reset the override — the market drops its own row and inherits again.

The Inherited / Override badge

In the page editor, every page shows where its content comes from for the active market:

Badge	Meaning
Override	This market has its own row at this path. Edits affect only this market. (The default market always shows this for its own pages — it is the base.)
Inherited from default	This market has no row here; it’s showing the default market’s content. Editing prompts you to Customize for this market first.

This label is decided by the server, so it always matches what the storefront actually serves — there’s no guessing based on what you last had selected.

What the storefront serves

When the storefront requests a page for a market, the CMS applies one rule:

Override first, then inherit. If the active market has its own row at the path, serve it. Otherwise serve the default market’s row.

The same rule applies whether the page is live (published) or being previewed as a draft, so Content Preview shows exactly what will go live for that market.

Markets live inside editions

Markets are edition-scoped. Each edition (e.g. fall, staging, live) has its own set of markets and its own default. The germany market in your fall edition is independent from germany in live — overriding a page in one never touches the other. Cloning an edition copies its markets and their overrides into the new edition, where they then evolve independently.

Pages are the content these markets inherit and override; Publishing controls when a market’s content goes live.
