Digital Workplace Core Site Overview - akumina/AkuminaTraining GitHub Wiki

A Framework Deployment Option

In some development scenarios, it may be easier to only deploy Akumina Framework onto a site without the Digital Workplace Foundation Site content. The Digital Workplace Core Site gives us that very option. The Digital Workplace Core Site deployment provisions the Information Architecture needed to support the framework and is logical to use during the scenarios below:

You want to add the Akumina Framework to a site already populated with content and branding
You want to add the Akumina Framework to a new site collection without the out of the box content that comes with the Digital Workplace Foundation Site.

What's Provisioned by the Core Site?
