Create content in collection

This guide will help you add a new record (content) to an already created collection — for example, “News” or “Articles”.

  1. Go to the Collections section or expand the sidebar to select the required collection.

  2. In the list of collections, select the necessary one (e.g. News).

  3. Click the Create article button.

During the creation of a record, the system automatically adds several basic fields. They are standard for all content types:

  • Title — the main name of the record, used as a title.
  • Slug — unique identifier of the record for the URL (formed from Title or set manually).
  • Status — record status: draft, published, archived.
  • Publish at — date and time of publication.

In the form, there may be additional fields defined in the collection template. For example:

  • Title — enter the name of the record.
  • Description — text or formatted content.
  • Publish at — select the date.
  • Published? — mark if the record should be active.
  • Image — add a file through the media library.

If Localization is enabled in the template, the language switches will appear. Fill in the fields separately for each language.

After filling in all the required fields, click Save.
