Creating a staging environment

You can create a staging environment for testing changes to your HCL Commerce site before the changes are moved to a production environment.To help business users test changes and manage a site, you are recommended to create an authoring environment. An authoring environment is a staging environment that has workspaces enabled. On an authoring environment, business users can manage business objects for a site within independent workspaces to test potential changes. Administrators and business users can also use workspaces to test emergency fixes for a site before they apply a fix to the production environment.
