We are approaching launch for a project that we have been working on for a client, we have been using the latest version of umbraco (4.11.x) and we have also installed courier 2.7.5.89
Our process for deploying changes is to use courier, deploying from local > development > live (the client didn't have the budget for a staging environment). We do however see issues when deploying certain changes, regardless of how cautious we are.
The issues we see are that even when deploying doc types, data types or macro changes, content changes. We have changed our process to ensure that we only copy of the items and not their dependancies after seeing the issue appear once or twice.
The issue I believe is that the client has been making changes to their live site which then quickly becomes out of sync with the development environment.
Is there a configuration setting that we can set so that Courier does not transfer content or media items? We only want to transfer the document type property changes, or new macros and their razor files for example. I understand that if a document type property is changed, then the content item will change to reflect that, however we have seen that published content on the site is changed even when no publishing takes place.
Deploying Changes

Hopefully the above makes sense,
