Introduction to the Content Governance module

The Content Governance module provides editors and intranet managers with a tool to manage content life cycle.  The module includes a dashboard that presents a clear overview of content that need to be considered and potentially revised, archived, or removed.

Intranet managers get the full overview of all intranet content that need to be looked through and potentially be updated, archived, or removed.Editors get a personal view of content they are responsible for looking through. From the dashboard, editors are intuitively led to pages to start the review of the content.

The Content Governance Dashboard can be placed on SharePoint pages or in LiveTiles’ Everywhere Panel across SharePoint and MS Teams.

Configuring the Content Governance web parts

Template, mode, and some other properties can be changed when editing the web part. By default, the search includes Enterprise pages i.e. all pages inheriting content type id  specified in “Include following content type id”.

The result source can be changed by specifying the GUID for result source in “Search result source” e.g. 8413cd39-2156-4e00-b54d-11efd9abdb89  for Local SharePoint Results

For instance, setting display mode to “With search field”, a search box will be displayed in web part enabling a search for specific user pages.

Setting revision date for the ‘Pages to Review – I am Editor’ web part

The “Pages to Review – I am Editor” is very similar to the ‘Pages Where I Am the Editor’ web part and by default it shows all pages where the active user is specified as a contact person.

In addition to ‘My sites’ properties, the ‘Number of days’ property can be specified. It is number of days before revision date is passed i.e. will show all documents where the active user is contact person and revision date is less than today + ‘Number of days’.

The revision date is controlled on the content pages, by editing that particular page:
