Organizing modules according to Helix principles

Current version: 9.3

SXA follows the Sitecore Helix principles that contain development process recommendations for building, testing, extending, and maintaining Sitecore implementations. One of the Helix principles is that each module has a separate location in the content tree:

{PATH_TO_SITECORE_LOCATION}/{LAYER}/{PRODUCT}/{MODULE}

For example:

/sitecore/templates/Foundation/Experience Accelerator/Multisite

Where:

Parameter

Example value

Description

PATH_TO_SITECORE_LOCATION

/sitecore/templates/

Path to the location where project-specific items will be stored

LAYER

Foundation

Helix recognizes several different layers: Project, Feature, Foundation

PRODUCT

Experience Accelerator

Optional. Additional level of nesting for better organization of all SXA modules under a single folder.

MODULE

You can add new templates for specific projects. This can be convenient if you are working on a project that needs custom templates. You can add your project templates to: /sitecore/templates/Project/Project_Name
