Dear Experts,

I am using the community version and have very good user experience about this version because websites can be build very easy.

Now I have basic questions about real content managent. Regarding to other websites, like wikipedia content management is charachterized by workflow management and document management and sometimes staging and role based access.

On the following comparision site of DNN product versions content approval version is only available for professional and enterprise version (both not free).
Staging is only available for the enterprise version
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Products/Ed...

On snowcover there are some modules for content management like DNN Article where an article must be approved before publishing
I am menanig this is the main idea of content managent, isn't it?
http://www.snowcovered.com/Snowcovere...

I understand that for staging you must have features like in enterprise version to move from test version to production version.

But If there are modules for content management like DNN Article why should I use professional to do that?

Or, asked it in another way: What advantages has the content management system in the professional version.
Or beginns content management without versioning or worklfow or like in the community version?

I have read some websites about content management and have a little idea what it is about, but in detail i am a little confused :-)

Many thanks in advance and

best regards

John

FYI the CE version of DotNetNuke (i.e. the free version) supports content staging i.e. the ability to require content to be marked as published , rather than directly published. The professional edition supports the abilitty to define a workflow, with multiple levels, which would allow content to pass through a number of people before becoming public.

please be aware that there is no workflow support built into DNN - some modules like HML module in CE support versions and contain an option for "publish" (usually bound to a dedicated role), while HTML module in PE and free version at dnnhtml.codeplex.com provide multiple step staging (linear in given order). This allows for an "onsite" staging, while new Enterprise Edition 5.5 support dedicated staging installation and publishing of content, modules and pages across.
