You must use the Site Studio packages to manage your Site Studio configuration instead of the Drupal core configuration management system.
Site Studio leverages Drupal configuration entities for all templates, components and styles that are created using the low-code interface. As such the package export and import process utilises the Drupal core configuration management workflow at it's core, however, it is important to note that the two are not interchangeable and Site Studio's packaging system should be used due to the additional functionality it provides as highlighted below.
When using Site Studio package management alongside Drupal core configuration management the Config Ignore and Config Split modules should also be configured.
Import and export feature comparison:
Drupal config
Site Studio packages
Exports configuration entities
Exports configuration entities
Imports configuration entities
Export file entity dependencies and metadata
Ignores missing file entity dependencies
Imports configuration entities
Performs Drupal validation
Imports file entity dependencies
Performs Drupal validation
Performs Site Studio validation
Performs Site Studio data integrity checks (optional in v6.8+)
Handles Site Studio entity rebuilds
Important
If Site Studio packages are not used for managing Site Studio configuration, alternative means of synchronising file entities and triggering rebuilds will need to be implemented in order for your Templates, Layouts and Styles to work as expected. Such alternative solutions may result in poor performance and unexpected behaviour.
