What is content in ConfigMgr? Content in ConfigMgr is always in the form of a package defined by a designated set of source files; once you deploy OneSite, these source files are made available to the clients using distribution points in ConfigMgr or peer systems.

What is content pre-staging? It is the process of distributing content to each system that requires the content before the system requires the content.

This ensures that the content is available when the local system kicks off an action that needs the content instead of having to download it on demand. ConfigMgr SCCM Content Prestaging Options Endpoint Manager.
