Introduction

Escenic Content Studio is the content creation, editing and management application of the Escenic content management system. It is the system's "front end", the most visible part of the system, and is intended to be used on a daily basis by the writers and editors responsible for the content of an Escenic-managed web site.

If you are reading this manual then you are probably an author, journalist or editor who will be using Content Studio for one or more of the following tasks:

  • Writing web content

  • Editing web content

  • Publishing web content (that is, making content actually visible on your web site)

Escenic has tried hard to make Content Studio as easy to use as possible, with a modern, tabbed user interface, widespread use of drag-and-drop and lots of keyboard shortcuts for experienced users. Nevertheless, it is probably not a good idea to just start using it without knowing something about the underlying system Content Studio depends on: the Escenic Content Engine. If you spend half an hour now reading this chapter, you should find Content Studio a lot easier to understand.
