Microsite vs topic pages - what's the difference?

[SofaSound]

Hey everyone,

I hope someone can help share some information based on their experience, please. 😊

We're considering a microsite on a specific topic under our taxonomy. It would have multiple pages which we want to add rich content to, as well as widgets (e.g. news, banners, links, favorites).

• How is a microsite different to building multiple topic pages?
• What advantages are there between building topic pages vs a microsite?
• Can a microsite have multiple pages?
• Are there any permission differences (e.g. could you 'ringfence' permissions for a microsite so that someone can only develop/edit content within the microsite framework, not elsewhere on the employee center)?
• Does the taxonomy navigation and search bar remain visible at the top of microsite pages or is it different when you're within the microsite?

I really appreciate anyone's input, screenshots, etc. on this as there's limited information out there on microsites.

Thanks in advance!

With the November 2024 release, Taxonomy Topic pages can now include Rich Content without connected support resources, enabling them to function as standalone microsites. Previously, organizations had to create custom pages for topics without support content, but now this is no longer necessary.

Yes you can create standalone micro site page and creating page is as simple as you used to create for portal, accordingly you could add the 'Rich Content(CD)' widget and post adding the widget make sure you update the widget instance  title so that it would be easy for you to select while publishing the content.
