Content

What the Content area holds, the draft and publish split, the content dashboard, who can edit what, and what actually happens when something is published or scheduled.

Content covers Pages, the Page Builder (Studio), Global Regions (header and footer), Patterns, Menus, Page Templates, the Blog (posts, authors, categories, tags, comments) and the Content Dashboard. The site's brand identity is no longer managed here.

Draft and published

A page body has a draft and a published copy. Save writes only the draft; Publish copies it to the public copy. A half-edited published page stays as visitors saw it. Two things go live at once on Save: Page Settings (title, address, parent, SEO, noindex), and Patterns, which have no draft step.

The dashboard

Customisable KPI cards: Published Pages, Published Blog Posts, Draft Pages, Pages, Studio templates, Media assets and In review. Below: recently updated pages, media storage and a review queue. The review queue is always empty today, because no screen submits a page for review.

What staff can and cannot do in the screens

The Content screens let you create, edit, duplicate, trash, restore and permanently delete pages, edit page settings, restore versions and save checkpoints in the Studio, and publish. Some capabilities exist only in the API and have no screen: scheduling a page, archiving, unpublishing (the only way to take a page down is Trash), page translations and the page review workflow.

Scheduling

A blog post can be published later by choosing Published with a future date (it goes live by itself) or Scheduled (it needs a cron job on the server to flip it). A scheduled post with an empty date never publishes.

Permissions

cms.read, cms.write (all edits), cms.delete, cms.pages.purge, cms.review.approve, cms.dashboard.read, plus blog keys cms.blog.delete, cms.blog.purge, cms.blog.moderate, cms.taxonomy.manage and cms.authors.manage. Administrators and editors have all of them. Writes also need plan features (pages, menus, blog, restoring versions), and custom HTML needs a premium plan and is blocked during the free trial. Several buttons stay visible to people who lack the permission and give an error instead.

PagesThe page list, page settings and URL paths, the homepage rule, the Page Builder (Studio) and its tools, versions and checkpoints, and the Trash.Translating pagesHow a page, the header and footer, menus and blog posts get a second language: one layout, one set of texts per language, published separately.BlogPost statuses and scheduling, why a published post may not show, the editor's fields and SEO, categories, tags and authors, review, duplicate and Trash.WordPress import and exportBring a WordPress blog over from its export file, or send this blog to WordPress, and what survives each way.Blog SettingsAuthors, categories and tags: what they are, the Uncategorized category, slug rules, and the delete rules.CommentsWho can comment, how spam and limits work, the moderation tabs and actions, what happens to replies, and who is notified (nobody by email).RegionsThe site-wide header and footer: how they are designed and published, what Apply Theme does to them, and what shows when none is published.PatternsReusable blocks that stay linked to the pages using them: how to make one, edit it, translate it and delete it, and why edits go live at once.MenusMenus are lists of links known by a key; how to create, edit and delete them, which keys the theme reads, mega menus, how links keep up with page changes, and how the current page is highlighted.Page TemplatesThis screen designs the built-in plugin pages (blog archive, blog post, store pages) with the Page Builder; it is not the saved-layout library, which lives in the Studio.
