Manage content overview

A content management system (CMS) primarily manages content, which can include webpages, components, media, and more. CMS (SaaS) offers features that enable developers to design content structures using properties and content types. After the content model is defined, content managers can effectively manage content.

Important

You must understand how property types, content types, and experiences are used to build your content in CMS (SaaS) before you begin managing your content. See Building blocks of content modeling before continuing.

The following resources help you manage your content:

• Content types – Describe the characteristics and data model schema of a content item.
  • Property format – Defines the rules for a content type's property. Properties are individual fields or attributes within content types that define the type of data stored and how it should be managed. Property types are the building blocks of content types. Refer to the Properties section in the end-user documentation for more details.
  • Property groups – Organizes content properties into logical groupings. Ideally, create property groups before defining content types. Refer to Edit tabs in the end-user documentation to see how the CMS (SaaS) UI displays property groups.
• Content – An instance of a content type that can represent webpages, components, media, and almost any other type. Content is what is ultimately viewable by the end-user.
• Import and export packages – Import and export packages to transfer data between CMS instances.
