Exporting WCM cache settings - WCM8

Sync PageBuilder Layout Changes to portal pages

Some times changes to layout templates made in WebDAV may not affective immediately (even if you restart the server). 

Login portal admin console --> Manage Pages --> Click on the Refresh Icon

Sometimes even the above one does not help , then apply the following i.e. Login portal admin console --> Manage Pages --> Page properties --> expand “Type of Page” --> select check box for the “Synchronize layout model with this layout template”
