The Content Hub onboarding is effective if you:

- Have website and business goals for syndication: Ensure that you identify the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that you want to impact by enabling content syndication.
- Have content for syndication use cases: If the content for syndication is not readily available, resources and processes must be identified to produce content in accordance with the project schedule. You must have a vision of your content architecture, including types of Drupal entities, their embedded dependencies, and third-party Drupal and non-Drupal integrations.
- Have Drupal skills: Having working knowledge of Drupal is necessary for success with Content Hub.
- Understand the development and deployment workflows: You can describe and document your standard development and deployment workflows, including the use of other Acquia portfolio product features such as Cloud Platform user interface as part of the workflow.
