Scheme managing

The Builder lets you manage any existing content-type (schema): collections, single pages and components. Open it from the sidebar, then pick a content-type in the middle panel — under Collections, Single Pages or Components, each with a + to create a new one. The schema of the selected content-type opens on the right: its name (for example News ›), a Save button, a Fields counter, the list of fields, an Add field button and, at the bottom, a Delete News button.

Each field is a single row that shows its type icon, its display name and type (for example Title – Text, Content – Rich text or Featured Image – Media), its DB name (the grey key stored in the database — click it to copy), and a bin icon to remove it. Protected fields such as the Title (name) field show a lock instead of a bin and cannot be removed.

Editing content-type

1. The Add field button adds a new field to the content-type (Setting up fields).
2. Click a field row to open its settings, where you can rename it, change its type and toggle options such as Required field.
3. The bin icon on a field row removes that field. Locked fields like Title have no bin and stay in place.
4. Drag a field row up or down to change its position in the schema (see Reordering fields).

Reordering fields

Drag any field row — including component fields — up or down to rearrange the schema. The field order defines the order of inputs in the record editor, so put the most important fields on top.

• The system Title (name) field is pinned to the top: it cannot be moved, and no other field can be placed above it.
• Only top-level fields of the open schema are reordered. Fields inside a component keep their own order — open the component itself in the Builder to rearrange them.
• Like any other schema edit, the new order takes effect after you press Save.

Deleting field

Click the bin icon on a field row. A Delete field? confirmation window opens, naming the field and warning that it and all its data will be removed.

Deleting content-types

Deleting a content-type also removes all of its records in the CMS. The same applies to a component: deleting it removes it from every content-type where it was used.

To delete a content-type:

1. Click Delete News at the bottom of the panel.

   

2. In the Delete collection? window, click Delete. This permanently deletes the schema and all its records — there is no undo.
