Create and Manage a CMS Workspace
Get started in the Digital Experiences app with a CMS workspace or an enhanced CMS workspace. Use the guided setup process to name your CMS workspace, add channels, and set the default language. After creating a workspace, you can change its name and description details to clarify its use and make it easier to find. When you no longer need an enhanced workspace, you can delete it.

Create a CMS Workspace
- In Lightning Experience, from the App Launcher, open the Digital Experiences app.
- From the Digital Experiences Home tab, click Create a CMS Workspace or Add Workspace.
- If the preference Create both CMS workspaces and enhanced CMS workspaces is enabled, select CMS Workspace or Enhanced CMS Workspace.
-
Add an existing channel, or create one for the workspace, and click
Next. Or, to add channels later, click
Skip.
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. -
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 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.
