4. Why Workbench?
• Drupal lacked an out-of-the-box unified
interface for workflow, moderation, and
access control.
• Many organizations have multiple content
managers with different levels of
responsibility and technical expertise
• Workbench enables content managers to
focus on their content, not on learning how
to use Drupal
