Managing Content in Drupal with Workbench George DeMet and Steve Persch Palantir.net
About Palantir.net • Founded in 1996; working with Drupal since

Why Workbench? • Drupal lacked an out-of-the-box unified
interface for workflow, moderation, and access control. • Many organizations have multiple content
managers with different levels of responsibility and technical expertise • Workbench enables content managers to
focus on their content, not on learning how to use Drupal
