Content: Create and manage website content

Overview 

After you create the layout of your page, you proceed with populating the page with content. Sitefinity CMS content is easy to create and reuse. Once you create news, an event, or other content item, it is stored in the Sitefinity CMS project and other users can view, use, and edit that content. 

You can also upload images, videos, and other files that you store in libraries. Content, created with the modules, is displayed on pages with the help of widgets. Sitefinity CMS has built-in modules for creating various types of contents, such as news, events, and blogs. Each type of content has a dedicated widget used to display it. You can configure the widgets to display different part of content, by combining widgets and by tagging and classifying content.

Create a blog
 Create a discussion forum

Using the text editor, you create text, which can then be published on the website. The text editor is available to create content blocks, blog posts, events, news, and more.

Define content workflow

In Sitefinity CMS you can create a workflow for managing the lifecycle of content items and pages. You do that by creating first and second level of approval for content items and pages, or by uploading your custom workflow.

Manage and reuse content

You can classify your content items to organize them and you can use tags and categories to filter the content items when displaying them. In addition, you can reuse content in another page or site or use a variation of the content instead of having to create the identical content all over from scratch. You can either duplicate the same content within a site or share content in multisite environment.
