In this chapter, we will look at different techniques that are intended to make content management system (CMS) users' life easier by managing content efficiently. While none of the recipes in this chapter are mandatory for your CMS, having them in your Sitecore CMS will provide a lot of efficiency and accessibility to its users.
The recipes here are concerned with solving some real-world problems that developers, content authors, and marketers face. They give an explanation on how to make the multilingual experience better using dictionaries, different ways to serve or import external content faster using Wildcard items, custom caches, and Item Web APIs. This chapter also explains other different types of items such as clone items and alias items and their best usage to make the lives of content authors and marketers easier. A few recipes here are intended to show how we can customize the Rich Text Editor to provide great flexibility to CMS users.
