* **Publishing workflows** so content can move from ‘Draft’ to ‘Needs review’ to ‘Published’ (live)
* **Website analytics** to give you access to insights about your users
* **Webforms** to collect and report information/data from your users
* **Compliance** with Australian Government website requirements, metadata standards and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility
* The **ability to easily edit content** without any HTML skills
* **Responsive display** so GovCMS websites can be viewed (and look good) on phones and tablets
* **Standard content types** for news, events, FoI, standard pages and blogs
* **Metadata** support for search engine optimisation (SEO)
* The ability to **manage media**, such as photos and videos
* **Forms** to collect data from the public
* **Custom lists** such as a compiled list of articles, media releases, publications or other types of content
* **Unique designs** with no limit on your website's theme (while GovCMS is a whole-of-government digital platform, it still caters for many different and visually attractive designs and different navigation structures — see a list of websites using GovCMS on the [GovCMS Gallery](https://www.govcms.gov.au/gallery)
* A robust **menu system** allowing for rich and specific information architecture (IA).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://salsa-digital.gitbook.io/govcms-content-administration/getting-started-with-govcms/the-features-of-govcms.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
