Projects
Projects are used to change a set of items on your site and ensure that they are published together at the same time. A new project has a default workflow that allows content to be reviewed and approved before it is published.
- Project review state
If you select at least one approver for a project, the project must be submitted for review before it can be published. - Project States
When you use a project, the project progresses through a series of states. - Ways to publish a project
Publishing a project refreshes the live website with your changes. - Project Publishing
An outline of the process of publishing a project. - Drafts and projects
You can create, update, and approve pages in a draft state, without affecting the published site. When you work with pages, you can edit pages as drafts, manage drafts with approval workflow, and then syndicate to publish changes. - Scope of edits
When you edit pages in a project, you use workflow for approving changes before you publish them until they are approved. If you edit pages without selecting a project, your changes are published immediately. - Project Validation
An outline of the validation process. - Projects and syndication
Projects are included in syndication, the method that is used by HCL Web Content Manager to replicate data from a web content library on a syndicator server to a web content library on a subscriber server. Although projects are syndicated with other items in a library that is being syndicated, you cannot use the subscriber copy of the project to update or publish your project. Work with projects on the syndicator server only. - Projects and custom workflow actions
Each workflow stage contains default actions, but you can also create custom workflow actions by creating a custom workflow plug-in. - Best practices for projects
Use these tips and guidelines to develop and publish projects more effectively.
