When you work with assets, you do so in the context of a project. Your projects dictate what you see in ATG Merchandising and the tasks, such as content creation, review, and deployment, you are permitted to perform in it. Projects ensure that tasks are performed in the appropriate order.
All merchandising activities are conducted as part of a project. Making a change to an asset automatically adds it to a project and, consequently, the Project tab, which holds all assets that are being modified in the current project. Deploying a project replaces the live assets on your Web site with the version of them in the project. Although you can modify assets in the Browse tab, Search tab, Project tab or the Multi Edit tab, and your modifications will be reflected in all four, only in the Project tab can you revert your modifications so that an asset will not be deployed with the project.
You interact with projects in the following ways:
If you want to view ATG Merchandising, you can do so outside of the context of a project. See Browsing ATG Merchandising in Read-Only Mode for instructions.
For general information about projects, see the Creating and Managing Projects chapter of the ATG Content Administration Guide for Business Users.
