- By providing built-in capabilities to manage a large number of chunks.
- By providing automatic assembly into multiple outputs.
- By formally tracking the links and relationships between chunks.
Also reduce publication cycle time and improve productivity:
- By allowing shared information to be authored and maintained in one place.
- By compressing the publication cycle into a single flow, rather than having a separate publication cycle for each output format.
