With the use of regions and languages you can make sure to only display those publications for your sales colleague, that are needed based on their language setting and geography.
When users set their language in the app, they will only see the publications of the selected language and of the default language of the enterprise. If they use multiple languages during their job, they can easily switch between them or multi-select languages to see the relevant publications.
By using regions it is easy to control access to content based on country or regional differences. For example: If there are different prices regionally but the language is the same as for the UK, US and Australia. They will see all English publications but only the price list of their country/region.
In contrary to the use of languages, regions are controlled by the enterprise admin and can not be changed by the users in the app.
