The $name token is a special token that can be used in fields on standard values items to instruct Sitecore to set the value of the field to the name of the item upon creation1. This token can be used in rich text, single-line text, and multi-line text fields2. To ensure that items created from a template automatically have the Title field populated with the name of the item, you should add the $name token to the template’s standard values Title field. This way, every item that inherits from the template will have the Title field set to the item name by default. You do not need to set the $name token in the new item’s content Title field, as this will only affect the specific item and not the template. The _name token is not a valid token in Sitecore and will not have any effect. References: 1: 2:

 When creating your containerized Sitecore environment with Docker, you need two files to launch the containers: docker-compose.yml and .env. The docker-compose.yml file contains the configuration of the services that make up the Sitecore environment, such as the roles, networks, volumes, and dependencies. The .env file contains the environment variables that are used by the docker-compose.yml file, such as the Sitecore license path, the image tags, the host names, and the passwords. These files are recommended because they simplify the process of launching the containers and allow you to customize the environment according to your needs. References:

A placeholder key is a unique identifier that is used to refer to a specific placeholder in the presentation details of an item. A placeholder key is defined in the placeholder settings item that is linked to a rendering or a sublayout. A placeholder key can also be defined in the code or markup of a component. A placeholder key can be static or dynamic. A static placeholder key has a fixed value, such as /main. A dynamic placeholder key has a variable value, such as /main-{GUID}, where {GUID} is replaced by a unique identifier at runtime. Dynamic placeholders allow multiple instances of the same component to be added to a placeholder without conflicts. References:

The field helper is a Sitecore MVC helper that renders the content of a field in the view. It also enables the field to be editable in the Experience Editor or Horizon. To prevent a field from being edited, you can set the editable parameter to “false” in the field helper. For example, @Html.Sitecore().Field(“title”, new { editable = false }) will render the title field without the editing capabilities. This parameter overrides the default behavior of the field helper, which is to render the field as editable if the page is in edit mode. Setting the editable parameter to “false” can be useful for fields that are not meant to be changed by the content authors, such as system fields or fields that are populated by code. 

 The Master database in Sitecore is also called the Content Authoring Database. It contains all versions of all items, including the ones that have not been published yet. This is the database that content authors interact with, and is the default database used by the Sitecore Content Editor. The Master database supports content editing, workflow, versioning, and language features. The Master database is also the source database for publishing operations, which transfer the content to the target databases, such as the Web database. References:

Versioned layouts allow you to create different layouts for different versions of an item. This means you can have a specific layout for a specific version of the main page that is published for a specific period, such as a company anniversary celebration. You can easily revert to the original layout by switching back to the previous version of the main page. Versioned layouts are stored in the __Renderings field of the item, which is a versioned field. Versioned layouts are enabled by default in Sitecore 10. References:

The Experience Editor, the Content Editor, and the Workbox are three areas of Sitecore that allow you to view the available workflow commands of an item you are editing. The workflow commands are the actions that you can perform on an item in a workflow, such as Submit, Approve, Reject, or Publish. The workflow commands are displayed in different ways depending on the area of Sitecore you are using:

• In the Experience Editor, the workflow commands are displayed in the Workflow group on the Review tab of the ribbon1.
• In the Content Editor, the workflow commands are displayed in the Workflow group on the Home tab of the ribbon2.
• In the Workbox, the workflow commands are displayed as buttons in the workflow state pane for each item3.

The Security Editor, the Workflow Command, and the Path Analyzer are not areas of Sitecore that allow you to view the available workflow commands of an item you are editing. The Security Editor is a tool that allows you to manage access rights for users and roles4. The Workflow Command is a template that defines the properties of a workflow command, such as the name, the next state, and the actions5. The Path Analyzer is a tool that allows you to analyze the paths that visitors take on your website. References: 1: 2: 3: 4: 5: :

This answer is based on the Sitecore documentation of dynamic placeholders1. Dynamic placeholders are an extension of the regular Sitecore placeholders that allow you to add the same placeholder name several times across multiple renderings, and even within the same rendering. Dynamic placeholders generate a unique key for each placeholder instance, which ensures that the content within the placeholder is unique and not duplicated. Dynamic placeholders also enable you to build functionality that generates multiple placeholders within the same rendering dynamically. For example, you can use dynamic placeholders to create a tab component that can have any number of tabs, each with its own content. References:

 The User Manager is a tool that allows you to manage user accounts in Sitecore. You can use it to create, edit, delete, enable, disable, and unlock users. To unlock a user account, you need to open the User Manager, select the user, and click Unlock in the Users group on the navigation ribbon. This will reset the user’s failed login attempts and allow them to log in again. You cannot unlock a user account by changing their password, editing their settings, or updating their access rights. References: 1

 Sitecore headless development is based on a decoupled architecture where the rendering host is a separate application that handles the presentation logic and the Content Delivery role is a Sitecore instance that handles the content management and delivery. The rendering host communicates with the Content Delivery role using Sitecore headless services, which are APIs that expose Sitecore content and layout data in a JSON format. The rendering host translates a visitor request to a content item in the Sitecore instance. The Sitecore instance using Sitecore headless services returns the content item and the associated presentation details, and so on, to the rendering host. The rendering host renders the content item for the visitor. This way, the rendering host can use any technology or framework that supports HTTP requests and JSON parsing, such as ASP.NET Core, React, Angular, Vue, etc. References:

Field editor buttons are custom experience editor buttons that allow content authors to edit multiple fields of an item in a pop-up window. This is useful for complex fields that are not easily editable in the experience editor, such as multilist fields, checkbox fields, or image fields. Field editor buttons can also be configured to edit the fields of the data source item of a rendering, rather than the page item. Field editor buttons can improve the content authoring experience by providing a convenient and consistent way to edit fields in the experience editor. References:

 The field source is a property that you can set for some field types in a data template, such as Droplink, Droptree, Multilist, Image, File, and so on. The field source specifies the location of the items or media that the user can select from when editing the field. For example, if you have a Droplink field that allows the user to choose a category for an item, you can set the field source to point to a folder that contains the category items.This way, the user will only see the relevant items in the drop-down list. The field source can be a path, a GUID, or a Sitecore query that returns a single item or a list of items. The field source helps you to control the data source and the user interface for the field. References:

• Controlling the list of items in a Selection field

 The sitecore.json file is the project configuration file that contains several properties, including a modules property that references the relevant Sitecore Content Serialization modules. If the path of a specific module file is not set in the modules property, the SCS system will not be able to locate and access the module file, which contains the items to be serialized. Therefore, the paths and related items included in the module will not be serialized when you run a push or pull command. This can lead to missing or inconsistent data between the Sitecore instance and the file system. References:

 If the Sitecore Content Management instance can be accessed by multiple host names, you need to add AllowedCorsOriginsGroup for each site to the Identity Server configuration. This will enable the users for each site to be able to log in to the Sitecore shell using the Identity Server. The AllowedCorsOriginsGroup element defines a group of URIs that are allowed to make cross-origin requests to the Identity Server. You can use multiple subnodes to define more than one URI, or you can use the | symbol to separate URIs within a node. You can also use the {AllowedCorsOrigin} template to simplify the configuration. When you use that template, all origins (hosts) are notified about the sign-out1. References:

Presentation details are the settings that define how and where content will be displayed on a webpage. They include the layout, the renderings, the placeholders, and the datasources for each rendering. Presentation details can be set at different levels in Sitecore, such as standard values, content items, or device items. However, for non-SXA websites, it is recommended to avoid setting presentation details directly on new content items, and instead use standard values. Standard values are the default values for the fields of a template, including the presentation details. By defining presentation details on standard values, you can ensure that all content items created from the same template will have the same presentation details by default. This eliminates the need to set presentation details for each individual content item, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. It also makes it easier to maintain and update the presentation details for a group of content items, as you only need to change the standard values once, and the changes will be inherited by all the content items based on that template. Setting presentation details on standard values also allows content authors to use the Experience Editor to edit the content and presentation of the items, without having to switch to the Content Editor. The Experience Editor is a more user-friendly and intuitive interface for content editing, as it shows the content in the context of the webpage. Therefore, by avoiding setting presentation details directly on new content items, you can improve the efficiency and consistency of your content creation and presentation process. References: Sitecore 10.0 Developer Documentation - Presentation details, Sitecore 10.0 Developer Documentation - Standard values
