| 5 | + <body> |
| 6 | + <p><b>Oxygen XML Web Author</b> is an online application that leverages the advanced authoring |
| 7 | + technology of <term>Oxygen XML Editor/Author</term> to bring XML editing and reviewing to |
| 8 | + mobile devices, as well as desktop systems, from anywhere you have internet access.</p> |
| 9 | + <p><b>Oxygen Content Fusion</b> is a flexible, intuitive collaboration solution designed to |
| 10 | + adapt to virtually any type of workflow that a collaborative team may use for their |
| 11 | + documentation review process. <b>Oxygen XML Web Author</b> is integrated into the <b>Content |
| 12 | + Fusion</b> interface as its online visual editor.</p> |
| 13 | + <p>Both products are designed to provide the ability to collaborate with other members of your |
| 14 | + team, from anywhere, and both have an adaptive and innovative user interface designed to allow |
| 15 | + you to interact with XML content in the most efficient and productive way possible.</p> |
| 16 | + <p>The following table briefly describes the differences between the two products:<table |

| 96 | + <title>Collaboration Scenarios</title> |
| 97 | + <p>An organization can use both products to solve various collaboration scenarios. Here are |
| 98 | + just some example scenarios:</p> |
| 99 | + <p> |
| 100 | + <dl> |
| 101 | + <dlentry> |
| 102 | + <dt>Collaboration Scenario: Support Team Corrects a Problem in Published Documentation |
| 103 | + Using Web Author</dt> |
| 104 | + <dd> |
| 105 | + <p>The support team notices a problem in the published documentation while offering |
| 106 | + support to a customer. </p> |
| 107 | + <p><b>Oxygen XML Web Author</b> can be integrated with a repository (for example, |
| 108 | + GitHub) and the output can be configured to include an <xref |
| 109 | + href="https://www.oxygenxml.com/doc/ug-waCustom/topics/webauthor-integrate-embedded-launch.html" |
| 110 | + format="html" scope="external">edit link</xref> and clicking that link would open |
| 111 | + the document in <b>Oxygen XML Web Author</b> where they can correct the problem |
| 112 | + directly in the source, precisely at the location of the problem, and while it is |
| 113 | + fresh in their mind. They could then commit the changes to the repository (for |
| 114 | + example, submit the changes as a <xref |
| 115 | + href="https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/" format="html" |
| 116 | + scope="external">Pull Request</xref> on GitHub) so that the documentation team can |
| 117 | + proofread the changes and easily merge them into their project.</p> |
| 118 | + </dd> |
| 119 | + </dlentry> |
| 120 | + <dlentry> |
| 121 | + <dt>Collaboration Scenario: Documentation Team Collaborates with Subject Matter Expert |
| 122 | + To Create Content</dt> |
| 123 | + <dd> |
| 124 | + <p>The documentation team needs to collaborate with a subject matter expert during |
| 125 | + content creation. For example, they have questions, or want to see if they worded |
| 126 | + something correctly, or they want the SME to add content (such as a code |
| 127 | + snippet).</p> |
| 128 | + <p>The content author can use <b>Oxygen Content Fusion</b> to create a task with the |
| 129 | + documents attached, upload it, and then they can simply share a link to the task |
| 130 | + with the SME. The SME simply follows the link to access the review task in a browser |
| 131 | + and they use the web-based visual editor to proofread, add comments, and suggest |
| 132 | + changes. They can communicate with the content author directly in the <b>Content |
| 133 | + Fusion</b> interface, and when they are finished, the content author can easily |
| 134 | + merge the suggested changes back into the original documents in <term>Oxygen XML |
| 135 | + Editor/Author</term>.</p> |
