Key Concepts
The main concepts in Content Fusion, including organizations, projects, repositories, review tasks, publications, and deliverables.
The following concepts are central to understanding how Content Fusion works:
Projects
The Project is the main module for managing your content. A project typically connects to a Git repository that stores the project files, such as DITA topics, maps, images, and other supporting resources. Within a project, users can browse and manage files, edit content in the web editor, commit changes to the repository, create and manage review tasks, define publications, and generate deliverables.
Repository
A Repository is a Git repository for a project. The repository is used to maintain the history of revisions, and allows teams to track and manage changes.
Personal Workspace
The Personal Workspace is your private working area within a project. It functions as a personal working copy of the repository, allowing you to modify multiple files without immediately affecting the shared project content. Changes made in the Personal Workspace remain private until you commit them, at which point they become visible to other project members in the shared repository.
Review Tasks
A Review Task is a shared review space where task owners and reviewers work together on content feedback. Reviewers can read and navigate the content, add comments, suggest edits, and participate in discussions.
There are two types of review tasks:
- Project Review Task - A review task created from content in a Content Fusion project. It is part of the project workflow and allows accepted changes to be integrated back into the project content.
- Independent Review Task - A review task that is not associated with a Content Fusion project. It can be created in the Content Fusion interface or from Oxygen XML Author or Oxygen XML Editor. Any follow-up integration into the source content is handled outside the Content Fusion project workflow.
Publications
A Publication represents a logical documentation set within a project. It defines a specific collection of content that forms a complete documentation product, such as a user guide for a particular product, version, or audience. A publication is typically defined by a DITA map that organizes the content structure and a filter configuration (DITA profiling conditions) that selects the applicable content.
Deliverables
A Deliverable is the output generated from a publication using a publishing transformation.
