Reusable Content
 Store and maintain reusable content
fragments in a centralized SharePoint
list
 Fragments are inserted in a web page
via an HTML editor and rich picker with
content preview and configurable
views
 Store as references embedded inside
the HTML content for each page
 Resolve references at rendering time
and support caching for high
performance
Smart Client Authoring
• Convert Word documents to web pages within MOSS document libraries
• Converted version of the
file is saved in the web
Pages library and remains
tied to the source
Content Deployment
• Deploy content from one site collection into another site collection. The
source and destination site collections can be in the same farm or in
different farms.
• Paths: A content deployment path defines a relationship between a source
and destination site collection for content deployment. Once a path is
created, jobs can be created and associated with the path to begin
deploying content.
• Jobs: A job is associated with a path, and defines the specific content to
be deployed from the source to the destination, and the schedule on
which the deployment should occur.
• On the Central Administration Operations tab:
Content Deployment
• Controlled from
Central Administration Operations tab:
• Must set up Content Deployment Settings
before configuring Paths and Jobs
