Creating a project | HCL Digital Experience
Projects provide the content owner with a way to manage content and updates in a streamlined process. Although you can update the site without creating a project, it is a best practice to use projects to simplify the publishing process for multiple updates. When you use a project, you can view draft pages and content in your site navigation from Site Manager.
About this task
Projects are created from project templates. Project templates define the structure of projects. With this template, project logistics are already defined and managed by the content owner. Project logistics include adding reviewers, adding approvers, selecting publishing criteria, and more.
