Answer» - Content Management: CM is the "world of content editing" in Sitecore. The feature is only available to content editors so that they can add, edit, and update content on their websites. Editors can access the Sitecore dashboard VIA the Sitecore Experience Platform. This dashboard contains several options depending on the editor's ROLE. It is ultimately the "content editor" that would be accessed to manage the CHANGES to content as shown below:
- Content Delivery: It determines which content to serve and renders output in the appropriate format for each channel, thus driving the experience for visitors across all channels. Several content delivery servers can be configured for increased scalability and better performance.
Once a content editor has finalized and processed their piece of content, making it "live" is the NEXT step. For this process, they have the option of "publishing" the content. Consequently, behind the scenes, that piece of content is moved from the "master" DATABASE to the "web" database and once it appears in the web database, it becomes live and visible to everyone. Content delivery servers exclusively connect to the "web" database for content, they do not access the "master" database.
