Content Management
Contents
Content Management covers the operations that apply across content items once they exist — the editorial lifecycle rather than the shape of any single item.
These operations are available from both the Content Navigator and the Content Editor, and they are gated by permissions: whether a given button is shown, enabled, or disabled depends on the current user’s rights for the selected content.
In this chapter
- Actions
-
The toolbar and context-menu verbs editors use day-to-day — New, Edit, Duplicate, Move, Sort, Preview. Reference for what each action does, where to invoke it, and which dialogs it opens.
- Workflow
-
The states a content item moves through between creation and publication — In progress, Ready for publishing, Publish request, Published, Unpublished — together with the actions that drive those transitions (Publish, Unpublish, Mark as ready, Request publishing).
- Permissions
-
The per-content security model: principals (users, groups, roles), the granular permission flags (Read, Create, Modify, Delete, Publish, Read/Write permissions), inheritance, and the Edit permissions dialog.
- Variants
-
Create and manage variant copies of a content item for A/B testing. Requires Content Studio+.
- Built-in content types
-
The reference for the content types Enonic XP ships with — Folder, Shortcut, Site, Page template, Image, Unstructured — and how they behave in the Content Studio UI.
Where this sits
Content Management assumes you already have content to manage. For the creation side, see Navigator (finding and creating items) and Editor (editing a single item). For the schema and data structure behind a custom content type, see the Enonic XP CMS docs.
