Builder

Builder

The constructor is one of the main functions of the CMS. You open it from the Builder item in the sidebar, and it lets you create and manage different forms of content:

  1. Collection: groups of entries. For example, a blog with different articles, products in an online store, or a list of authors — any content that repeats.
  2. Single page: a single, unique entry. For example, the home page of a website or an "About us" page — any content that is not repeated.
  3. Component: a reusable group of fields shared across collections and single pages. For example, an SEO block or an image carousel that can be added both to a blog article and to the home page.
