MODULE OF THE WEEK


Workbench - https://www.drupal.org/project/workbench


Workbench provides overall improvements for managing content that
Drupal does not provide out of the box. Workbench gives us three
important solutions:


a unified and simplified user interface for users who ONLY
have to work with content. This decreases training and support
time.

the ability to control who has access to edit any content
based on an organization's structure not the web site structure

a customizable editorial workflow that integrates with the
access control feature described above or works independently on
its own



These features benefit the end users as well as Drupal Site
Administrators and Technical Support.


For Drupal Developers and Site Builders, Workbench provides
several additional benefits:


a modular architecture: only install and enable the modules
you want

extensibility: we would love to see more integration with
other Drupal modules (in fact we have our eyes on Scheduler and
Workflow modules and improvements for Asset Management)
