Create content
You can create content by selecting a content type and a locale and then completing the various fields that define that type of content. Some fields might require you to enter some text; some might prompt you to select a media file such as the hero image for a hotels page; others might ask you to choose from a list of predefined values such as category tags. For text fields, you can also use AI to generate a draft for you.
When you have finished creating the content, you can save it as a draft. You can then either publish it immediately or keep it as a draft until it is ready for publication.
Required fields are indicated by asterisks. Fields might have help text to provide guidance. For fields that have a character limit, a character counter is displayed below the field.
