Page Content

Once you have created your content types and templates, you'll be ready to create some content.

To do this, you just need to click on the content type you want to create content for from the left-hand sidebar, you'll be taken to the content type list page.

On this page, you just need to click the button labeled "New", which will redirect you to the content creation page.

From here, you'll find the content title field at the top, the content editor on the left-hand side and the content settings sidebar on the right-hand side.

The first step in the content creation process is to set up your initial content settings, to do this, simply select your chosen Workflow Step/ Content Status and Template from the right-hand sidebar.

The options provided for content status will be our default statuses like Publish and Draft, alongside your site's custom content statuses which can include your workflow steps.

The template options will be any template that you have created against the content type that you started from.

From this sidebar, you'll also find some other options in the Content Status & Visibility section but these are optional, we'll discuss how to use these in other help center articles.

If you want to use this page as a parent page or if you want it to show in your site's menu bar, then you'll need to scroll down to the Content Hierarchy section and select the option labeled "Show on Menu / Use as Parent Content".

You can then select one of your other content items from the Parent dropdown to make the page that you are currently editing a child of that page.

You can then change the order that is shown on your menu by using the Order field, this should be numeric.

When you are done setting the page up, you are free to save the page as a draft or publish it, depending on the content status that you selected previously.
