Content teams

The Universal Visual Editor supports a wide range of page-editing capabilities in both traditional and headless configurations. The headless configuration guide explains in-context editing on remote sites and apps — preview and structure aligned with your delivery stack.

Layout docs cover how content lands in page regions; Future Time Machine supports previewing scheduled and future-dated material when you need to see what visitors will see later. Together, you get both space and time.

Content types are introduced as the schema you design — think of them as the shape of your content database. Field-type documentation lists every field you can add and how it behaves in forms and APIs.

Workflow docs cover creating and managing custom schemes and assigning them to types. Push publishing describes moving bundles of objects between servers — including dynamic and static endpoints — when content promotes beyond a single environment.

Templating documentation explains how HTML/XML pages draw on templates and containers to organize and display content. Themes cover creating and managing template assets (including framework choices).

Widgets are documented as reusable dynamic fragments authors can place without writing Velocity. Layouts (under pages/UVE) describe how regions receive content in the visual editor.

dotCMS personalization tools let you target visitors, personas, and rules. Persona docs walk through defining segments and how they connect to content.

Rules documentation covers conditions, actions, and no-code personalization at page or site scope. Experiments describes live A/B tests with performance metrics. Taxonomies and tags explain organizing content with categories and tag fields so segments stay maintainable.

The searching and menus hub ties together how authors find content and how site search is exposed to visitors. Site search documentation covers Elasticsearch-backed discovery in the repository — syntax, catch-all search, and how fields map to indexes. The AI Search blog post walks through setting up an AI-powered search experience for your public site when you want semantic or conversational retrieval on top of your content.

URL maps and SEO-friendly slugs explain readable detail URLs; vanity URLs cover pattern-based redirects and rewrites you manage in the CMS. Navigation management with the NavTool documents building and maintaining menus from content and structure, and the XML sitemap pages describe generating sitemaps so crawlers can discover your published URLs.

Managing workflows documentation explains creating schemes, steps, actions, and sub-actions — including schedule-enabled flows and task screens for assignees.

dotAI workflow sub-actions are described as combining automation for generation, tagging, translation, and related tasks when your edition includes dotAI.

Authoring-content documentation explains how contributors add and edit content from the Content tool — including searching, importing, versioning, and export options.

Adding and editing content covers permissions-aware editing; relating content explains relationship fields; files and images distinguish standalone assets versus embedded binaries. The dotAI tool page summarizes admin configuration for AI-assisted authoring features.
