CMS content is divided into content types, which serve as templates to define the structure and display different kinds of information. Each content type consists of fields, which are individual pieces of data. For example, a Blog Post content type might include fields for the title, body text, author name, and publication date.

Acquia Source provides certain default content types. These content types can be modified. For example, a site might have the following content types:

• Article (included)
