Property groups organize content properties into groups.

The property group resource contains the following fields:

• key – A string identifying the property group in the API.
• displayName – A user-friendly name for the group displayed to end users.
• sortOrder – A relative index used in some listings to define the order of property groups.
• source – A key indicating where this group came from. It is empty when created from the UI and set to system when defined by Optimizely Content Management System (CMS).

GET https://example.com/_cms/v1/contentpropertygroups/info

{
    "key": "info",
    "displayName": "Information",
    "sortOrder": 42,
    "source": ""
}

Content-Type: application/json

{
    "key": "info",

Update a property group
