Create a content model

Before you can create content, you need to define its structure with a content model.

A content model describes the fields an entry will contain, such as a title, slug, body content, image, or publish date.

  1. Go to Models → Content Models.
  2. Click Create Content Model.
  3. Enter a name, such as Blog Post.
  4. Review the generated API ID, and adjust it if needed.
  5. Add the fields your content should contain.
  6. Save the model.

Create your first entry

Section titled “Create your first entry”

Once your model is ready, you can create an entry based on it.

  1. Go to Content.
  2. Select the content model you just created.
  3. Click Create Entry.
  4. Fill in the fields.
  5. Save the entry.
  6. In Visibility, turn on Publish, keep Now selected, and save again when you are ready to make it available.

If your project uses editorial workflows (stages and transitions) or approvals, the visibility controls available to you may vary depending on your setup and permissions.
