This enables Commerce users to implement custom content and expand functionality of their website with Site Management Tools.

The new SuiteCommerce Advanced Site Management Tools enable you to manage content on your SuiteCommerce Advanced websites. Content management is facilitated by the Site Management Tools user interface on the website and the areas in your website page templates. With Site Management Tools you can add new content, edit or remove existing content, and rearrange content by dragging it from one location to another. The types of content you can manage include:
Images and image attributes such as links and alternate text
Text with traditional WYSIWYG formatting that utilizes the site’s style sheets
Product lists based on pre-defined merchandising rules
HTML code snippets for embedded videos, social widgets, partner code, and so forth
Content displays site-wide on every page, only on a specific page, or on specific page types depending on the area where the content resides. For example, the areas in the page header and footer are defined as global, which means that any content you place in those areas will display on every page on the site.
Content is managed on an unpublished version of your site. Content changes are visible to visitors on the live site only after you publish the site. These changes include the addition of new content, deletion of content, rearrangement of content, and so on. This enables you to spend several days or weeks developing a new version of your site. You can then publish the site when you are ready for those changes to go live.
Site Management Tools also includes an edit live site feature that lets you make changes to content on the live site. These changes are available immediately and do not require publishing.
With SuiteCommerce Advanced Site Management Tools you can also create and manage landing pages and enhanced landing pages. Included in this is the management of important SEO considerations for the pages such as page titles, meta description, and meta keywords.
