What isWORKBENCH

?Workbench is a suite of modules created by:

“Workbench provides authors, editors, and publishers with a unified interface for managing content relevant to them. It allows people to focus on content, rather than on learning Drupal.”

George DeMetFounder Palantir

The WorkbenchMODULES

Workbench functionality is separated into several modules. The Workbench module is required by all of the other modules, and in general each module can function independently of the others.

Workbench Access Workbench Moderation Workbench Media

WorkbenchACCESS

Workbench Access provide the hierarchical permissions across "Sections" of your web site. You can use menus, taxonomy, or create your own hierarchical structure for controlling access to a piece of content.

WorkbenchMODERATIONTo provide editorial workflow, you want to install Workbench Moderation. It is a flexible system which provides default workflow states like Drafts, Needs Review, and Published. You can also change these states to suit your organizations needs.

WorkbenchMEDIA

The Media module has been integrated with Workbench too. The goal was to include a workflow for creating media just like you would any other content.
