CMSs allow end-users (typically authors) to create new content in the form of documents. These document may be entered as plain text or perhaps with markup to manage document layout and structure.
The system then uses rules to style the article, which separates the display from the content, which has a number of advantages when trying to get many articles to conform to a consistent " look and feel". The system then adds the articles to a larger collection for publishing.
The systems also often include some sort of concept of the workflow for the target users, which defines how the new content is to be routed around the system.
A good example of a CMS would be a system for managing a newspaper. In such a system the reporters type articles into the system, which stores them in a database. Along with the article the system stores attributes, including keywords, the date and time of filing, the reporter's name, etc. The system then uses these attributes to find out, given its workflow rules, who should proofread the article, approve it for publication, edit it, etc. Later the editors can choose which articles to include (or ignore) in an editionIn printmaking, an edition is a set of prints off one plate, composing a limited run of prints. One of the main reasons for the development of printmaking is the desire of artists to make more money from their work by selling multiple copies; printmaking of the newspaper, which is then laid out and printed automatically.
WCM systems span a wide variety of needs, from small systems with almost no workflow for small user-groups and such, to large database-based systems for running large, very active web sites such as those for a newspaper.
A WCM-tool normally includes functions for administering users and groups and editing the content. You can, for example, have one group for administrators, one group for content editors and one group for visitors, everyone. Besides editing the content, a WCM tool often has functions for version control, to keep track of the history of the different versions of an item. Several WCM systems utilize standardized protocolFor the meaning in computer science, see protocol (computing). In addition to the meaning below, treaties are sometimes called protocols. The word derives from a Greek phrase meaning "first leaf", referring to the first draft of a treaty. Protocol is thes like ICEICE is another XML format for data exchange.

The term is also used to refer to the protocol (more accurately, the extension to the HTTP protocol) which the group d for managing the site content technically.
As with all software areas, the companies that develop and sell/distribute WCM tools put more and more functions into them to make them as attractive as possible. The functions might include modules that are typically used when building a web site ( intranetAn intranet is a network used internally in an organization that is sometimes access restricted.
