Disabling AWE on the Live environment

The Web Editor (AWE) is configured to be enabled on the Editorial content, and disabled on the Live. This is controlled by the isEditorial flag on the Quick Start Editorial metadata. This also (when complete) dictates what can be viewed via the live web application with regards to publishing go live and expiry dates.

This procedure configures the web application to view the “Live” site structure.
  1. Edit the metadata properties on the Quick Start Live folder.
  2. In the Site Configuration field, enter the isEditorial=true flag.

  3. Click Submit.
The default configuration sets the host address to 127.0.0.1, so if you are running Web Quick Start locally, you can view the editorial environment on http://localhost:8080/wcmqs and the live on http://127.0.0.1:8080/wcmqs.

Make sure you don't have two projects, for example, an editorial site and a live site, using the same combination of host, port, and context.
