In February 2015, EPiServer released the latest CMS update, version
8. This was the first release since EPiServer's merger with Ektron.

In these slides, I will discuss how to use
Projects, one of the new features introduced
in the version 8 CMS update.

New Feature: Projects
Content Editors and Authors typically prefer to publish sets of changes
together. For example, a content page may have several components like
page content, images, blocks, etc. An update process for one page maybe
related to or dependent on other pages or blocks.
EPiServer created a new feature "Projects" in order to facilitate and
control the process of publishing several components together to save
time and avoid confusion during the publishing process.

How To: Using Projects
1. Click the Settings icon
2. Click the Projects Gadget

3. Choose the items you want to manage in your project
• Create name of project
• Drag and drop pages, blocks, etc.
to the body of the project

Note: You can sort the project items, rename or delete easily. Also, you
can add or remove other components as needed without restrictions and
once you have all the projects' components ready, you can publish all of
the projects with one click.

Utilizing Projects
I have created an example to illustrate how EPiServer's Projects feature
can be utilized.
User: A large hotel that owns several properties worldwide.
Challenges: Managing content and its translations into several languages is
a bit tricky, time consuming and also very difficult for a central
department to handle.

The hotel's properties are (A), (B) and (C). Currently all the
content authoring and related translations are managed by
the Content Department. Each of the three hotel properties
have multiple departments: Rooms, Restaurants,
Entertainment, and Family Activities.

Some of the features Projects will allow the hotel to do, per project,
include:
• Create new projects
• Add departments
• Assign managers
• Create necessary workflows to manage translation and authoring
scenarios

Once project items are ready, the hotel can publish individual
projects without affecting other projects. Furthermore, for
managing maintenance and translated content in a global
environment, having an organized structure where you can
oversee all of your projects allows you to preserve the
consistency of the content.

GPI Connector: Upgraded for Version 8
EPiServer has introduced some technical changes related to the "Language
Selectors." As a result, Globalization Partners International (GPI), a
certified EPiServer Solution Partner, has upgraded their EPiServer
Translation Service Connector to work with the newest features of version
8.
The upgrade was done in order to adhere to the latest technical changes
and to provide the same enterprise solution for users of EPiServer-based
websites to launch and manage multi-language websites, while
streamlining content exports and reimports for web content translation
workflows with a single click.

Further GPI Resources on EPiServer Website Translation and Development
GPI has previously localized and published several EPiServer web applications and
presented detailed presentations and case studies about CMS and scalable website
development. You may find the following references about website localization,
