Store CMS workspace and public channel
Key Takeaway
A store can use content from every CMS workspace that includes its public channel. To use content from another workspace, add the store's public channel to that workspace.
A CMS workspace is a secure place to create, edit, organize, and manage digital content, such as product media, for B2B Commerce stores. A public channel links a store to a workspace. Every new store automatically gets its own workspace and a public channel to that workspace, so the store has a home for its product media from the start. The public channel also matters when you want content from other workspaces and when you prepare the store for activation.
What a new store gets
When you create a store, the creation process adds a CMS workspace for that store and a public channel from the store to that workspace. The store's CMS workspace is one of several required default records created with the store. The default records are:
- The store's CMS workspace
- A default catalog with one default category (Products)
- A default buyer group
- A default entitlement policy
- A default price book
- A default strikethrough price book
Of all these default records, only the category can be deleted. The store's CMS workspace and the other default records stay in place.
