Lists

You manage lists and their lists items on the Lists page.

You can use lists for various purposes. For example, you can create a list for your FAQ section, where each question is one list item and the content of the list item is the answer to the question.

To open the Lists page, in the main menu in the upper part of the screen, click Content » Lists.
The Lists page appears, displaying all created lists with the number of list items in each list together with actions you can perform on them.

When you open a list you can view all items in this list.
To open the page with the list items, simply click on the list whose items you want to view. A page, displaying all items in the selected list, is displayed.

To navigate back to Lists page, click All lists link in the upper-left part of the page.

The following table summarizes the main properties and actions for Lists.
