How to Publish Whole Site Sections at Once with Drupal Workspaces

Staff Reporter

Mark Conroy, LocalGov Drupal consultant, shows how the Drupal Workspaces feature helps editors prepare large content changes and publish entire website sections simultaneously, including pages, navigation, and related assets, instead of making incremental updates one at a time.

In his blog “Publishing Whole Site Sections with Drupal Workspaces,” Mark outlines a common challenge for content teams: when a new section of a site, complete with multiple interconnected pages and menu items, needs to go live in one cohesive release. Drupal’s Workspaces, now part of Drupal core, provide a solution by letting editors create an isolated workspace where all edits and new content can be staged together. Once the section is complete, the workspace can be published to the live site in one action, ensuring consistency and preventing partial or fragmented updates.

The post includes a short video tutorial demonstrating how to set up and use Workspaces within a Drupal site so that teams can coordinate complex content updates without risk. Workspaces function as a staging environment within the production site, enabling review, preview, and batch publishing of all related content. This workflow is especially useful for content teams maintaining large government, organisational, or editorial websites.
