After you've created your Schema it is time to add content.

Let's get started!

How to add a content entry

First, log into your project and select "Content" in the navigation sidebar. Then click the "View" button on the relevant Schema template for which you like to manage content.

Select "New Entry" at the top right corner of the screen.

For Single type Schemas, you will not see a New Entry button. Instead, select the Plus (+) icon.

Each entry will have the same fields as set out in the Schema you are using.

At the top of the editor, there is a gray bar with the following fields:

  • Status - If your project is on the Flame or Firestarter plans, you will have Basic workflows. Basic workflows include the following predefined statuses for you to choose from: Draft, Review, Publish, and Production.
    If your project is on any of the other plans you can transition your content between environments and approval statuses to suit your project’s needs. You can read more about Workflows here.

  • Environment: This is the environment in which you are adding the content entry. Read more about different environments here.

  • Language: This is the language that you are adding the entry for. You can read more about multiple languages here.

Complete each field and "Save" your content entry.

After saving, the create date and name of the person who created the entry will now also show in the grey bar at the top of the content entry. If an external link was added when setting up your schema, the link will also appear after saving. Read more about external links here.

That's it! You are done with adding your first entry. To navigate back to the entries page, select the Close (X) button positioned in the top left corner of the entry.
