Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

According to the Sitecore XM Cloud Documentation for Developers1, the scope property is used to control the depth of the serialization tree. The scope property can have one of the following values2:

Self -- only the item itself is serialized, not its descendants.

Children -- the item and its immediate children are serialized, not the grandchildren or further descendants.

Subtree -- the item and all its descendants are serialized, regardless of the depth.

To limit the serialization of items under a Navigation item to just the item itself and then one step below, the developer should add the scope property with the value Children to the includes section of the serialization configuration file. For example3:

includes:

- name: Navigation

path: /sitecore/content/MySite/Navigation

scope: Children

I believe it's A) Scope as well, because it makes sense to use scope for limiting serialization.

C) Limit, because that's what we're trying to do, right? Limit the serialization. Easy peasy.

Hmm, B) Nothing---this is the default makes the most sense. I'm not trying to serialize the whole encyclopedia here, just the essentials.
