Paligo TotalCtrl CCMS

If you use Paligo, you'll love TotalCtrl.

Structured, single-source technical content — without the legacy price tag.

Paligo is a dedicated cloud CCMS you buy and integrate on its own. TotalCtrl's CCMS gives you the same single-source, topic-based authoring, reuse, versioning, translation, and DITA export — but it shares one workspace with your Help Center, support, and product content, so documentation isn't a silo.

Everything Paligo does — and more

CCMS, included in every plan

Topic-Based Authoring
Write modular, reusable topics by type (concept, task, reference, troubleshooting) in a clean WYSIWYG editor — no XML required, but DITA-compatible underneath.
Reuse & Single-Sourcing
Write a topic once and reuse it across multiple publications. Update it in one place and every publication that uses it stays current.
Version History & Workflow
Every topic keeps a full version history, with review and approval workflows so content is signed off before it publishes.
Translation Management
Manage multi-language variants of every topic, and push source text to String Manager for translation — then bring the translations back.
Publications & Doc Portals
Group topics into Publications and publish them as branded documentation portals on your own custom domain, with an authenticated member portal option.
DITA XML Export
Export your structured content as standards-based DITA XML for downstream toolchains — your content is never locked in.
