Structuring your data effectively helps you create flexible, reusable, and maintainable content in Acquia Source. 

The following sections describe how proper data structure enables scalable content operations and delivery across multiple channels:

*   [Entity types](/acquia-source/entity-types "Entity types")
*   [Fields](/acquia-source/fields "Fields")
*   [Form display settings](/acquia-source/form-display-settings "Form display settings")
*   [Permissions](/acquia-source/permissions "Permissions")
*   [Text formats and editors](/acquia-source/text-formats "Text formats")

The information in these sections applies only to CMS content. Pages are not structured. For information about the differences between pages and CMS content, visit [Comparison between pages and CMS content](/node/70036#comparison-pages-cms-content).
