Content items

Content items are created from authoring templates. A single content item can be used one time in the website or it can be reused in different areas of the website.

If we have content to appear on multi pages, create a content item. Then link the content item to the different areas in the website where the content needs to appear. This approach ensures consistency and makes changing the content items easier.

The authoring template can determine what element types are included in a content item, whether a workflow will be used or not and what workflow to use, and where the content item can be saved.

Each content item we create is the equivalent to a web page in a traditional website. Unlike traditional websites, a single content item can be linked to different areas within the website, or linked to a different website altogether. The changes made to a single content item will be visible in every place you link the content item to.

The look and feel of a content item when displayed in a website will depend on what authoring template was used to create the content item, and what presentation template displays the content. The presentation template used will depend on the current context of the content item, and which template-map applies to the current context of the content item.
