We have a need to roll out around a large amount of pages over the course of a few months (aprox 10,000). We are thinking of launching pages in batches of ~500 at a time, on a weekly staggered timeline.
I am thinking that this is the perfect use-case for Projects in Episerver. Please let me know if you disagree.
The current plan is to (every week)…
Create a new project
Create ~500 pages within the project over the next ~3-5 weeks
Publish the project
We’re thinking of spawning a new project every week to handle this, so really we’ll have 4-5 active projects at a time with batches of content that are being rolled out and published on a staggered timeline. We do not plan on doing any edits to existing pages within the project, only rolling out new pages (although some human error is inevitable).
For example:
October 5th – Create Project “Batch 1” and begin content population
October 12th – Create Project “Batch 2” and begin content population
October 19th – Create Project “Batch 3” and begin content population
October 26th – Create Project “Batch 4” and begin content population. Publish “Batch 1”
November 2nd – Create Project “Batch 5” and begin content population. Publish “Batch 2”
etc
Obviously there’s some dependency on content authoring velocity, but this aside from this…
Should I anticipate any technical issues with running multiple projects in parallel?
Can projects handle publishing a high volume of pages within each project?
Hi Tomas have you seen the latest updates for the Projects? They have been created based on user feedback so I am curious if this would solve your editors problems? https://world.episerver.com/blogs/grzegorz-wiechec/dates/2020/8/new-improvements-for-projects/
Thanks for reminding me David, I have seen the blogpost but never tried Projects with the updated. Great improvements!
In my experience, the main confusion for inexperienced editors is that they forget they have selected a project. Or they think they are working on a project when they are not.
