Evaluating a content platform as its scope grows

Separate established editorial workflows from new marketing capabilities. Check interfaces, permissions and commercial boundaries before judging whether consolidation reduces maintenance.

Putting content management into practice

A content model defines independently maintained and reusable information. Authoring, preview, approval and publication form a workflow; an API response validates only one part.

Checking the result

Have real editors create, change and restore content using long headings, missing fields and multiple languages. Record development dependencies and release ownership.
