1.1 About This Guide

This guide provides information about administration concepts and tasks for the following Content Server applications: ■ HTML Preview: provides content contributors with instant feedback on how their content will display on the published web site. This enables the contributors to modify the original content if they do not like the published results before the content is actually checked in. ■ Repository Manager: specifies how content is displayed or handled, such as creating customized content types, working with subscriptions, and managing revisions. ■ Metadata: specifies how metadata is used in working with schemas, rules, and content profiles. ■ Workflows: specifies how content is routed for review, approval, and release to the system. ■ PDF Watermark: enables watermarks to be applied to PDF files generated by the component PDFConverter static and returned to the content server. ■ Folders and WebDAV: provides a hierarchical folder interface to content in Content Server in the form of virtual folders also called hierarchical folders. Virtual folders enable you to create a multi-level folder structure. ■ Content Folios: provides a quick and effective way to assemble, track, and access logical groupings of multiple content items from within the secure environment of Content Server.
