Multi Site Management for non-localized content?

[NicholeVe]

Hi there, 

I'm wondering if I can leverage MSM to create a single-source workflow of 100+ pages with different content but based on the same structure. Is this doable with MSM and non-localized content?

1. In other words, I'd like to have one parent page with a structural blueprint but be able to draw that blueprint to 100+ child pages with varying content per site inside of the standard structure. All pages are in English but based on differing versions of similar content. 

a. If so, how would updating content on the child pages work? Would there be a single-source we can update in a central area and flow to child pages? 

b. Could we update parts of the structure of the parent and easily "push" them down to the children?

c. If there are core pieces of content that all child pages would share with the parent, is there a way to update the content on the parent and "push" to all child pages?

d. Does this use case make sense to use MSM for, or is there another AEM sites functionality that might better fit this use case?

Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi @NicholeVe ,

If all the 100+ pages need to have different type content then in that case MSM is not the feasible solution rather than that you can drive all the pages from a single template and use experience fragments to reuse the common content of all these pages.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Avinash

thanks Avinash! The content here actually isn't common for the most part. The components and structure are the same across pages but for 90% of them, the content in those components would differ one each of the 100 pages. I would like the ability to edit the content in one location.

The MSM is good if you want to reuse not only structure, but also content. If you want to centrally manage page structures, I would recommend to check out editable templates.

What do you mean with "I would like the ability to edit the content in one location"? Because you just said, that the content will be different on each page.
