Hi Carsten, that is imho more an AEM then sling use case. The functionality you are describing is covered my AEMs MSM Live Copies(Multi Site Manager). It basically allows you create a copy of an existing website and to automatically distribute changes to the live copies. The relationship is configured through a rollout config that determines how content is automatically updated.
It is also possible to exclude parts of the website or even single component or properties from being synced. Regards Thomas Am 20.

I have 2000 very similar websites that share >95% of the structure, config, assets, data, ... but every website has a different author user base which need to change/adopt the remainging content (where permitted). The websites all need to be linked to a "master" site. If something is changed in the master, all childs "inherit" the change. (e.g. master publishes a new product launch page and all childs inherit it) Inheritance comes to mind where a Master website is defined and every child inherits its masters config, content, assets, ... but overwrites if necessary. Overlaying comes to mind where the content, config, assets of a child overlays the master web-site. A fancy "copy new content from master to childs event handling" is not an option. I found Jira Issue #5750 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-5750> and #4386 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-4386> and read "Ideas for a multi-tenant and multi-module content model <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SLING/Ideas+for+a+multi-tenant+and+multi-module+content+model>", "Multitanent" <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SLING/Multitenancy+scenarios+and+use+cases> , I found Context Aware Configuration <"https://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/context-aware-configuration/context-aware-configuration.html";> After reading all this, I could still not answer if I can define a master website (structure, content, config, data, assets, ...) and inherit a child website, that "overwrites" only a few bits. Is this something I could do with AEM or sling? Easy or hard? Please point me in the right direction. Cheers Carsten
