Write and publish entries

Who can use this: Roles with CMS access. Publishing and scheduling need the publish permission.

Entries are the content inside a content type. You can write an entry, save it as a draft, publish it now or schedule it, and go back to an earlier version.

Before you start

You need a content type. See Content types and fields.

Write an entry

1. Open CMS in the sidebar and select a content type.

2. Create a new entry and fill in its fields.

3. Click Save Draft. Later saves show Update Draft.

Use ✦ Agent at the top of the editor to get AI help with the entry.

Publish an entry

Click Publish. Once an entry is live, click Update to publish your changes.

If the type uses workflow steps, the buttons follow those steps instead. See Workflows and approvals.

Schedule an entry

Scheduling is available for collections. Singles do not have it.

1. Click Schedule.

2. Set Schedule at to a future date and time.

3. Click Confirm Schedule.

A scheduled entry shows Publish Now and Cancel Schedule. Due entries are published every minute.

Unpublish an entry

Click Unpublish. A single goes back to draft. An entry in a collection is archived, and a user who can approve content can send it back with Restore to Review.

To change many entries at once, select them in the list and use Publish, Unpublish or Delete.

Translate an entry

If the type has localization on, use Language & Translations in the editor and choose Add translation.

Restore an earlier version

1. In the Versions panel, expand a version to see what it held.

2. Click Restore.

Restoring adds a new version with the old values and the status the entry had then, so your history stays complete. Versions are kept only if Enable Versioning is on for the type.

Limits and good to know

• The list view is always available. Board view needs a collection with workflow steps.

• A field in WCAG Mode blocks publishing and scheduling while it has accessibility errors.

Troubleshooting

• "Accessibility errors detected": a field in WCAG Mode has an error. Fix the listed errors, then publish or schedule again.

• "A future scheduled_at is required": the chosen time has passed. Pick a time in the future.
