Enhanced versus non-enhanced CMS workspaces
Key Takeaway
As of Winter '25, new CMS workspaces are enhanced by default. Before you can create a non-enhanced CMS workspace, turn on the "Create both CMS workspaces and enhanced CMS workspaces" setting. To let a store use content from a non-enhanced CMS workspace, add the store's public channel to that workspace.
Salesforce CMS keeps content in CMS workspaces. Each workspace is either enhanced or non-enhanced. Enhanced CMS workspaces run on the enhanced sites and content platform and add features such as workflows, workspace sharing and translated content variants. Non-enhanced CMS workspaces are still available for cases that need them, such as publishing to LWR sites created before Winter '23. For a B2B Commerce admin, this matters because a store gets its content from CMS workspaces.
Two types of CMS workspaces
A CMS workspace is where a team creates content, organizes it in folders and schedules when it publishes. Access to a workspace is limited through workspace contributors and roles. Workspaces live in the Digital Experiences app, which you open from the App Launcher.
Salesforce CMS supports two workspace types: enhanced and non-enhanced. Enhanced CMS workspaces are part of the enhanced sites and content platform. From Winter '23, enhanced LWR sites and enhanced CMS workspaces are hosted together on this platform.
To tell whether a workspace or site is enhanced, look for the badge beside it in the Digital Experiences app. The list of sites in Setup under Digital Experiences also shows whether a site is enhanced.
