Splendidus retineo visum et Content Management API

Stefan Goßner has put together a terrific 4-part series on the SharePoint Content and Deployment API hic. It offers a great overview and very good examples in code (C #).

I first picked up this link from joris poelmans blog at http://jopx.blogspot.com/.

Etiamsi es similest mei;, in that you have not had to do much hands-on work for content management, this is well worth 20 minutes of your time to read.

Using the API, one can:

  • Export and import content very easily.
  • Re-parent content. If you want to export some content from a site "A" and send it to site "B" but in a totally new place in the hierarchy, this is possible.
  • Export content from a site A and import selected bits into site A.
  • Re-link content (meaning deal with all the hyperlinks).
