Activating Staging

The admin user can activate staging for Communities and Organizations. When you activate staging for Communities or Organizations, they can be used in the production environment.

WebSynergy by default has Content Management Sample, Knowledge Management Sample, and Collaboration Sample Communities. For the procedure to create a new Community, see NULL.

The below procedure explains how we can stage Communities. You can stage Organizations by following the similar procedure.
