Staging

You can “Stage” pages on the production server before they are published to live. This can also include the "approval process" of different levels of authority.

Here is how it works:

To Do Staging Without Workflow

1. Log in to Web Space Server as admin user.

2. Administrator or the owner of a community or an organization can enable Activate Staging via Manage Pages from the Control Panel.

3. Once staging is enabled, a user with appropriate privileges can add/modify pages and the content to pages and publish them when they are finalized. During the development of the pages while in the staging, live pages are not affected, and no changes are visible on live pages.

To Do Staging With Workflow

1. Log in to Web Space Server as admin user.

2. Administrator or the owner of a community or organization can enable Activate Staging and Activate Workflow via Manage Pages from the Control Panel.

3. Choose the number of stages for the Workflow. Default is 3.

4. Specify the roles for each stage of approval process. Administrator can create the roles with scope and permissions on the My Community portlet. For Content Creator Community Role assign the Manage Pages role from the Define Permissions option.

5. A Content Creator can create pages and submit the proposal. Once the pages are approved through the approval chain, the final approver can publish the page to live system.
