Content Management System
Content management system is software tools that enable people to create, edit,
publish, organize and review electronic text. This system is mainly for documentation. CMS is
widely used for managing websites, which often contains news, blogs and shopping. There are
two elements of CMS which vary between the basic concepts of user and content. Content
management application (CMA) allows any user, who even has a limited knowledge to manage
which includes add, modify, and remove content from a Website without needing the expertise
of a Webmaster. On the other hand, content display application (CDA) gathers and utilizes that
information and updates the Website. Thus, the major purpose of a Content Management
System is to generate potential of various users with different permission levels to manage a
website or a section of the content.
Most CMSs comprise Web-based publishing, format management, revision control,
indexing, search and retrieval, however the features may differ. Web-based publishing provides
a set of templates, wizards and other tools to allow user creates and modifies Web content. The

format management formats any documents into Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) or
Portable Document Format (PDF) for the Website. Next, revision control includes feature that
updates as well as restores the content version to a previous one. It also tracks any alterations
made to files by individuals. A user may find all data within organization that is indexed in a CMS
system, search them using keywords which the CMS system retrieves. Typically, these features
are applicable for many CMSs, but some also support the separation of content and
presentation.
A website which has Articles, Blogs, Press Releases, Store, Events and assign each
section or a part of a section to user to create, edit, and archive is an example of CMS, such as
Google drive, Dropbox, and WordPress.
