Create and Manage a CMS Workspace

Get started in the Digital Experiences app with a CMS workspace or an enhanced CMS workspace. Use the guided setup process to name your CMS workspace, add channels, and set the default language. After creating a workspace, you can change its name and description details to clarify its use and make it easier to find. When you no longer need an enhanced workspace, you can delete it.

Whether you’re creating a CMS workspace or an enhanced CMS workspace, the Salesforce CMS setup process guides you step by step.

Note
Note When you create an enhanced CMS workspace, you must enter an API name. You can add an API name only when you create a new enhanced CMS workspace, and you can’t change the API name after you create the workspace. If your enhanced CMS workspace was created before Summer ’24, you can’t add or edit the API name.

You can create up to 2,000 CMS workspaces in a Salesforce org.
