As of Winter ’25, any new workspace that you create is enhanced by default. Before you can create a CMS workspace, enable a new setting. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Digital Experiences, and then select **Salesforce CMS**. Enable **Create both CMS workspaces and enhanced CMS workspaces**.

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

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.

## Create a CMS Workspace

1. In Lightning Experience, from the App Launcher, open the Digital Experiences app.
2. From the Digital Experiences Home tab, click **Create a CMS Workspace** or **Add Workspace**.
3. If the preference Create both CMS workspaces and enhanced CMS workspaces is enabled, select **CMS Workspace** or **Enhanced CMS Workspace**.
4. Add an existing channel, or create one for the workspace, and click **Next**. Or, to add channels later, click **Skip**.
    
    ![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-communities_managed_content-264-0-0-production-enus/8b149fc1-875c-4018-8e9e-2843a2196457/images/icon_tip.png)
    
    Tip To create an enhanced LWR site channel in the Digital Experiences app, see the LWR Sites for Experience Cloud guide. Then add the site channel to the enhanced CMS workspace.
5. Select the default language, and then click **Finish**. You can’t change the default language later, but you can add other languages to the workspace.
    
    ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-communities_managed_content-264-0-0-production-enus/8b149fc1-875c-4018-8e9e-2843a2196457/images/icon_note.png)
    
    Note If you plan to add CMS content to an Experience Builder site, it’s important that the site and the CMS workspace have the same default language so that the content appears properly. If the default languages are different, translate the content in your CMS workspace to your default site language, and then add the translated content to your site.

## Edit CMS Workspace Details

1. Open the workspace.
2. To edit details for a CMS workspace, click **Edit**.
3. To edit details for an enhanced CMS workspace, click the settings menu **![Workspace Settings Menu](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-communities_managed_content-264-0-0-production-enus/8b149fc1-875c-4018-8e9e-2843a2196457/communities_managed_content/images/cms_workspace_settings.png)**, and then select **Workspace Details**.
4. Edit the name or description.
5. Save your changes.

## Delete an Enhanced CMS Workspace

Deleting a workspace deletes all of its content and settings. Any active workflows, publication schedules, and content imports or exports will be canceled and deleted. You can’t undo this action. Before you can delete an enhanced CMS workspace,

- [Remove all channels from the workspace.](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.cms_channel_add.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "You can remove enhanced LWR site channels, Aura site channels, and public or restricted channels from enhanced CMS workspaces. Before you can remove an enhanced LWR site channel from your workspace, open the site in Experience Builder, and remove any CMS content from the site.")
- Unshare the workspace. Go to the [workspace sharing settings](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.cms_cmsworkspace-edit.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Save time and space when you share content across enhanced CMS workspaces, and reuse content between workspaces without duplicating records. Work with content shared from a source workspace to a target workspace in the Shared with Workspaces folder. After workspaces are shared, you can make copies of a shared content record and save it to a folder in a target enhanced CMS workspace.") and move all workspaces to the Unshared column.

1. Open the enhanced CMS workspace.
2. Click the settings menu **![Workspace Settings Menu](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-communities_managed_content-264-0-0-production-enus/8b149fc1-875c-4018-8e9e-2843a2196457/communities_managed_content/images/cms_workspace_settings.png)**, then select **Delete Workspace**.
3. Confirm that you want to delete the workspace.
    
    You receive an email when the workspace is deleted.
