Store CMS workspace and public channel for imports
Key Takeaway
A store's imports always write to the store's own CMS workspace. To use content from another workspace, assign the store's public channel to that workspace.
When you create a B2B Commerce store, Salesforce also creates a CMS workspace for that store and a public channel to that workspace. The workspace is where imports write. The public channel is how the store reads content from other workspaces, so it matters whenever your content lives outside the store's own workspace.
What a new store creates
When you create a store, Salesforce creates several required default records:
- A default catalog with one default category (Products)
- A default buyer group
- A default entitlement policy
- A default price book and strikethrough price book
- A CMS workspace with a public channel to it
Of these default records, you can delete only the category.
