Multi Site Manager
Multi Site Manager is a set of tools to manage sites that
share the same content. It allows you to:
• Define the relationship between sites
• Enforce a common base structure and common content across
multiple sites
• Maximize reusability of content
• Control when updates occur
The relationship can be at a broad or a granular level.
