Authoring interface

The primary role of a web content authoring system is to allow the content creators to author content in the form of content items. There are various features we can use to customize the Web Content Manager user interface to simplify the content authoring process for the content creators.

• Custom portal pages for authoring
  We do not have to use the default Web Content Manager page to create content. We can create a new portal page to act as the home page of the authoring system.

• Authoring system access strategies
  The roles we assign each library on the authoring system will determine what views and features in an authoring portlet are accessible to the users.

• Authoring portlet customization
  We can edit the shared settings of each authoring portlet on the authoring system to customize each authoring portlet for the people who use them.

• Custom authoring interfaces
  We can use the Web Content Manager API and remote action parameters to create customized authoring interfaces specifically for the content creators.

• Web content inline editing strategies
  An inline editing system is used to deliver editable web sites such as an intranet or a wiki. It combines the features of both an authoring system and a delivery system.
