Managing Digital Assets

Provides capabilities for managing audio, video, and image content types by storing digital media content in SharePoint Server libraries.

Managing Documents

Content Organizer The Content Organizer manages documents that users upload to sites and employs an advanced routing engine and routing rules (defined by site administrators) to determine where documents are saved.

Document Sets The SharePoint Server 2010 Document Sets feature introduces the ability to manage an entire collection of documents, spreadsheets, presentations, or other types of document content as an entire end-to-end work product.

Metadata is applied to each item in a document set and to the document set as a whole.On documents inside of a document set, administrators can select columns that they want marked as read-only. The property can be edited only on the document set itself. Any changes to the column that is marked as read-only will be applied to all of the documents inside.

The Welcome page acts as a customizable home page for Document Sets that displays the properties of the document set.

Document Sets support templates and versioning. Templates can be created in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. Versioning makes it possible to capture the state of the document set at different points in its lifecycle, view its history, and restore previous versions of the document set.

Document IDs and the Document ID service The Document ID service is a new feature at the site collection level that adds a unique identifier (ID) to all documents throughout the site collection. This feature enables retrieval of documents by Document ID regardless of their current or future location.

Location-based metadata defaults SharePoint Server 2010 allows library administrators to specify different default column values for each folder in a documented library.

Metadata navigation and filtering This feature helps makes content more discoverable to users across the enterprise by providing indexes on metadata fields.

Managing Enterprise Metadata

Metadata is everywhere in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. The enterprise metadata provides the infrastructure and tools for managing it. Administrators, taxonomists, and users employ the Metadata Manager to create flat or hierarchical lists of terms, which are kept in term stores. The Metadata feature supports associating custom properties with each term, assigning languages to terms, and organizing terms into term sets, and provides the ability to disambiguate, reuse, merge, and deprecate terms.

The term store is a database that enables management and retrieval of metadata and their relationships.

Managing Records and eDiscovery

Updated records management SharePoint Server 2010 provides a solution other than archive-based records management. Instead of being exclusively based on a Records Center model, the Records Management feature now provides a choice between using the Records Center (archival) approach, and managing records in the enterprise where they are located. This new site collection-level feature is named In-Place Records Management.

eDiscovery is also available now as a site level feature that can be activated anywhere and used to add documents to an eDiscovery hold from the entire site collection.

Managing Web Content

Content By Query Web Part (CQWP) enhancements These enhancements include the ability to filter query results based on the query string or current page content values.

Enterprise content types Define content types once and use them in multiple site collections in the same or different farms.

HTML Editor enhancements These include cross-browser support and tight integration with the ribbon.

HTML Simplification/XHTML 1.0 Compliance SupportSimplified and updated HTML and cascading style sheets (CSS) markup improves usability and reduces end-user perceived latency (EUPL). HTML simplification increases SharePoint Server 2010 speed and its conformance to legal standards. XHTML 1.0 compliance is supported, but not required.

Large Page LibrariesLarge page libraries provide a way to include folders in libraries of pages. Use large page libraries when you need to include many pages on one Web site that does not have subsites. Folders can be automatically created on a target page.While you can use subsites to split a site into subsections that help define navigation, a single subsite might contain many pages. Adding all of the content with shared characteristics into one Pages library can affect scalability if using folders is not an option. Additionally, manual rendering is difficult if you create dozens or hundreds of pages every day in the same site.

Large page libraries offer an automated way to place pages into folders and to scale up Pages libraries to a limit that far exceeds the item limit permitted in .
