Content types and fields
Create collections and singles in the CMS, add fields, and set the rules each field must follow.
Updated November 9, 2026
Who can use this: Roles that can manage content types. Workflow options need a plan that includes CMS workflows.
A content type defines the shape of your content: a blog, a team list, or a single page of settings. Create the type here, then add its entries in the Content Manager.
Create a content type
Open CMS in the sidebar, then choose Manage Types.
Click New Content Type.
Enter a Content Type Name and a Slug / API Identifier.
Choose a Content Type Kind: Collection or Single.
Set the options you need, then click Continue.
The options are:
Enable localization: translate entries into other languages.
Show in Calendar: show entries in the planner.
Supports Workflow: send entries through review steps. Singles always skip workflow.
Enable Versioning: keep a version of each entry when it is saved.
Choose between a collection and a single
A Collection has many entries, such as blog posts or products.
A Single has one entry, such as a homepage or an about page.
Add fields
Select the type in the sidebar of the Content Type Manager.
Click Add Field and choose a field type.
Name the field. Names use lowercase letters, numbers and underscores, and start with a letter.
Open the field to set its rules.
Click Save Changes.
Field types
Text: Text (Short), Long Text, Text (Rich).
Basic: Email, Password, UID (Slug).
Number: Number (Integer), Big Integer, Number (Float), Number (Decimal).
Date/Time: Date, Time, DateTime, Timestamp.
Media: Media Upload.
Advanced: Boolean (True/False), Dropdown (Enumeration), JSON Object, Repeatable Items, Dynamic Zone, Relation.
Use a UID (Slug) field for the part of a URL that identifies an entry. Set its Target Field to base the slug on another field, such as the title. To link types together, see Relations.
Set field rules
The rules you see depend on the field type:
Required: the field must be filled before saving.
Unique: no two entries can share this value.
Minimum and maximum length or value: limits for text and numbers.
Default: the starting value for a new entry.
Private: hides the field from APIs and public view.
A Rich Text field also has Allowed Tools or Disallowed Tools to control the editor toolbar. Use one list or the other, not both.
Control who sees the content
Under Customer access, set who can read, create, update and delete entries from your site. This applies to site visitors and Code Builder apps. Staff and API tokens are not affected.
Limits and good to know
A new Text (Short) field allows up to 255 characters until you change it.
A new Media Upload field accepts files up to 10 MB until you change it.
A new Number (Decimal) field has precision 10 and scale 2.
Warning: Deleting a content type permanently removes its entries and linked data. You must type delete to confirm.
