A method for managing electronic content includes obtaining the content and associating top level contents of the obtained content with a deployment set. The top level content includes content that is specified by a user for deployment. The method also includes determining all dependencies of dependent content for each of the associated top level contents in the deployment set, incorporating the determined dependencies into discharge instructions for the deployment set, and generating a content deployment block including the associated top level contents, the dependent content, and the discharge instructions for the deployment set. The discharge instructions include dependency ordered deployment commands.
