Projects feature

A project lets you manage the publishing process for multiple related content items. For example, you can add a landing page, blocks, pages, and products (if you have Optimizely Commerce Connect installed) to a project and publish them, manually or scheduled, simultaneously. The projects feature supports the management of content in different language versions so that you can manage the translation of content items in projects too.

Projects feature

• The Projects feature is turned on or off for the entire site and affects all users.
• Editing actions, such as creating and updating items, automatically associate a content item with a currently active project. Exceptions to this rule are moving items in the structure, setting content to expired, and changing access rights or language settings. These actions do not associate content items with the active project.
  Remember to deactivate the project when you no longer want to work with it. Items wrongly associated with a project need to be manually removed from the project.
• You can manually associate items with a project by dragging and dropping them from the page view into the project overview.
• Content associated with a project is locked for editing if another project is active.
• A version of content is associated with a specific project. This means you can have a published version of an item not associated with any project; one draft of the same item belonging to a Summer campaign project, and another to a VIP campaign project.
• You can add, remove, and update existing items even if some or all items within a project are published.
• You can collaborate with other editors by adding comments and replies to comments, project items, and projects.

• The Projects interface consists of three main parts; the Project bar at the bottom, the overview, and the project items navigation panel to the left.
