# Add content

Add files, fragments, and content items to the **Content** tab in a basic project or a stage in a multi-stage project when you want to include this content in a task or workflow. To add supporting material that does not go through the project workflow, you can [attach content](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/attach-content.html "Attach content") from the **Details** tab. [Standard search and filter](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/search,-filter,-and-select.html "Search, filter, and select") functionality is available.

> [!important]
> To add content items to projects, you must enable the [projects functionality for content](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/enable-projects-for-a-definition.html "Enable projects for a definition").

To add content:

1. On the menu bar, click **Project** > **Projects**.
2. On the **Projects** page, do one of the following:
    - For a basic project, click the project to open the project details page.
    - For a multi-stage project, click the project to open the project details page, click the **Timeline** tab, and then click a stage.
3. On the **Content** tab, click **\+ Add**, and do one of the following:
    - To upload [assets](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/add-content.html "Add content"), click **\+ Upload files**, and select the files you want to upload or specify the URLs to the files you want to import.
    - To create [fragments](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/fragments.html "Fragments"), click **\+ Fragment**, define fragment properties, and click **Save**.
    - To create [content items](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/add-content.html "Add content") (such as a blog, recipe, or white paper), click **\+ Content**, define content item properties, and click **Save**.
    - To add an existing content item, click **Add existing items**, select the items you want to add, and click **Add**.

> [!note]
> When a content item is created through a project, it is automatically assigned the *In progress* state. The *Ready to publish* state is assigned once the content item is approved through a task. The new content will not have [state flow buttons](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/state-flows-for-content.html "State flows for content") because approval is task driven.
