Discover how to leverage the Workspaces module for implementing enterprise-ready publishing workflows by staging large sets of content changes!
Prerequisite
A basic understanding of Drupal and Drupal Modules is essential. Further knowledge of enterprise Drupal sites is beneficial but by no means required.
Outline
To be a true enterprise content management system, the CMS must have the ability to do site-wide content staging, where privileged users preview various sets of changes, from the end user perspective, before they go live; and then enable you to easily publish a set of changes at the click of a button.
Discover how to leverage the Workspaces module for implementing enterprise-ready publishing workflows by staging large sets of content changes, content deletions via the Trash module, and deploying them together to the Live site either on-demand or scheduled. With even the ability to revert the entire changeset if needed.
Workspaces has full support for content translation, so, for example, adding a new language to an existing site can be accomplished on the production environment, with the ability to preview every section of the site before approving and publishing the changeset.
Learning Objectives
A strong understanding of the Workspaces module and how it can be leveraged by enterprise users and their sites. Additionally how Workspaces can play off of the Distributions and Recipes strategic initiative.
