The Escenic Content Engine

The Escenic Content Engine is a system for managing and maintaining large web sites such as newspaper web sites. The Escenic name for such a web site is publication. When you see the word "publication" in this manual, it means "web site managed by the Escenic Content Engine".

All access to the content of an Escenic publication is managed by the Escenic Content Engine, which does not run on your computer, but on a server in the network. Most of the content is stored by the Content Engine in a database system, which also runs on a server in the network. This means that:

  • You cannot use Content Studio unless your computer is connected to the network.

  • When you work with Content Studio, nothing important is stored on your computer.
