Web Content Manager includes
a range of features that help you manage the web content items that
are used in your system.
Web content folders
You use folders to group sets of web content item types
into logical groupings.
Locked and draft items
As you work in collaboration with other users, you might
encounter items that are locked by other users, either because they
are being edited by another user, or a draft item has been created.
How to manage versions of items
You can configure your system to either automatically save
a version of an item each time it is published, or allow users to
select when to save a version of an item. You can restore items individually,
or choose to restore a set of items within a library that either have
the same label or were versioned at, or before, a specified date and time.
Deleting an item
You cannot always immediately delete items. Sometimes you
need to take steps to prepare an item for deletion.
Viewing item references
The "view references" tool assists you to view and manage
all the links between items.
Managing references
When you delete items that are referenced by other items,
you need to resolve any references that are broken by deleting the
item. A dialog opens listing the items that cannot be deleted.
How to manage authoring templates
From time to time, you might need to reapply or change
the authoring templates that are assigned to a set of items.
How to work with draft items
Creating a draft of an item allows users to work on changes
to that item without changing the published version of the item. Draft
items can either be stand-alone items, or form part of a workflow.
When the changes are completed, you can choose to either publish the
item, or discard the changes by canceling the draft. You can create
multiple drafts of a single item.
How to manage expired items
Expired items are items that were published but then removed
from the live website. Only items that use a workflow can be expired.
How to manage published items
Items are not visible on a website until they are published.
When published, an item can be expired, or returned to a draft state.
Removing and adding workflows
The process of adding and removing workflows on items is
determined by the type of item that is being edited, and your level
of access.
Restoring an item
Previous versions of items can be stored and then restored
later if required.
Editing user profiles
You can add profile information to users. User profiles
can be used as search parameters in menus.
