Workspaces
Workspaces in TYPO3 provide a staging environment for creating, reviewing, and approving content before it goes live. They are a core feature for editorial workflows and quality assurance.
Use Cases for Workspaces
Workspaces are typically used in editorial and team environments, such as:
- Multi-stage approval workflows with editors and reviewers
- Previewing changes with exact date/time simulation
- Collaborative content editing across teams
- Rollback and version history for transparency
How Workspaces Work
- Editors work in a dedicated workspace instead of publishing directly to live.
- All changes are stored in the workspace until reviewed and released.
- Approvals determine when and by whom content is published.
Advantages
- Safe environment for testing and preparing content
- Quality assurance through previews and approvals
- Transparent workflows with clear roles and permissions
- Rollback options for older versions
Typical Use Case
A newsroom prepares articles in a “Review Workspace.” After approval by senior editors, the content is released to the live site, ensuring quality control and accountability.
