Author

An Author creates and manages website content, creating Pages based upon existing Templates.

Author responsibilities

  • Create and edit Page content.
  • Copy, move and delete Pages.
  • Start workflows and publish Pages.
  • Insert, edit and import components such as images, text, documents and audio files.

Detailed description

For a great deal of content you can begin the process of authoring before you have all the components available. For early stages much of the core content of the site can be produced using an out of the box set of components. Authors can be entering the core article content via the Rich Text Editor or a Parameterised HTML component builder. 

This is possible because layouts for core content are managed using Snippets. So while the content editors are working this layout snippet can be altered without affecting their work. 

For large operations put some thought into the experience of your authors as the website is developing. We can provide consultancy on how best to use Zen Garden in parallel production scenarios - there are many different way that Zen Garden can facilitate your needs.
