• Out of the box field types and field controls

• Full HTML editor (with optional constraints)

• Image and link controls with pickers

• Summary Link controls

Web Authoring

• Web Parts

• Summary Links – quickly author, style and organize links on a page

• Table of Contents – data driven views of

• Content Query – data driven view of content across your site

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:
