Kentico 8.2 deploying web parts

I need to push changes made in CMS -> Pages -> Design tab (web parts) from our dev server to a production server. Is there a way to import these changes to the production site without affecting anything else in the db? E.g. nothing in the Form tab should be updated.

See the answer posted over on the Kentico DevNet.

"If your license allows it, use Content Staging as Zachary mentions. If not, use import and export of that page template.

For reference, anything on the Page, Form and Properties tabs, are content related changes and will not affect any objects like templates, layouts and webpart properties. Changes on the Design tab are changes to page templates, layouts and webpart properties themselves, which are objects and do not affect content changes UNLESS you remove a webpart which was displaying or has content inside it."

Content staging is the best way to do this.

If you have not setup content staging yet, here are details how to do so. After you enable Staging module you may need to do to that page once again to that page Design tab, open settings for any of the web parts and save it without any changes, so staging module will notice changes and log sync task.

If staging was already enabled, you need to go to Staging application -> Objects tab -> Web Site -> Development -> Page Templates. This will give you all page templates, those were changed. Select the one you need and sync it. If your template is not available there try to locate it under Global Objects.
