Author Impact of Adding New Top Level Channel?

If I had a channel structure where the root channel is named "Channels".
There are four sub channels named products, services, solutions, partners.
Each of these has many sub channels and pages.

Now we need to change the channel structure a bit to support a change in our
business. We need to insert a new channel named "us" directly under
"Channels". Then move ALL the old channels under /channels/us/.

Can anyone advise me if there are some serious problems likely to be
associated with this kind of procedure? For example the impact on links,
templates, security, navigation, resource gallery and so forth.

Any advise appreciated.

Hi Ninerfan,

the only thing that will happen is that the URLs to your items will change.
Means all links from other sites to this server would need to be adjusted.
Internal Links in MCMS will automatically reflect the new location.

Cheers,
Stefan

Understood. We will be using redirects for the key URLs and the rest will
just have to be updated in any favorites list the visitors have made. I was
just checking to see if there were any big "gotchas" that were not obvious.
Sounds like it's pretty straight forward.

Thanks Stefan.
