Content management concepts
This section explains concepts used while editing that are related to content management.
- Content Manager
The Tridion Sites Content Manager contains all the Components, Page objects, Templates and other items that are involved in creating the website for which editing is enabled. - Component
Components are pieces of content. Components may appear in different forms on different webpages. - Component Template
The Component Template determines which parts of a Component are displayed on the webpage, and how. - Workflow
Workflow is the flow of a piece of content through your organization. - Publication
A Publication is a repository in the Content Manager that contains a coherent set of Pages, Components, Component Templates, and other content items that are used to produce a website. Publications can be part of a hierarchical structure known as a BluePrint structure, in which items in Publications higher up in the hierarchy are shared down to lower Publications. - BluePrinting
BluePrinting is the framework that enables Tridion Sites users to share content across websites, and to create local copies (for example, translations) of content.
