How Much Control Will the User Have?

On every page template, you can have one large contribution region or several small contribution regions. Within a region template, you can have one or several elements, each one appearing as a field in Contributor where users (contributors) add and edit content.

There are different types of elements that can be used for specific purposes, like adding and editing text, graphics, and updating lists. You can turn on or off certain formatting attributes, such as the choice of typeface, font size, images, tables, and custom properties. These choices depend on how much control you want the contributor to have over a given web page. You can also enforce what content is added using the validation feature or your own validation scripts.

In addition to these, you can allow users to modify the site hierarchy by enabling the Manager application on one or several pages.

You must balance this control with the desire for consistency, as dictated by your organization's guidelines.
