Simply put, a content inventory tells you what your content is and a content audit makes recommendations as to what your content should be.


Content Inventory & Audit is Day 17 of 100 Days of UX, an exploratory effort to survey the 100 methods of design outlined in Martin and Hannington's Universal Methods of Design. For 100 consecutive days, I learn one new method a day and write about it (sometimes. Clearly not today though).
