  • Shared folder

    If you're maintaining multiple internet or intranet sites within a single OpenCms instance, you can use the shared folder in order to distribute the same content on several sites. With this concept you are able to share the content, managed once at a central location, to different domains with a single click. Especially for large projects the "Shared Folder" is a big benefit.

The CSE allows users to subscribe to individual content items and get notifications when a change in the content occurs. This can also be used to distribute automated notifications or to manage personal favorites.
