Rebranding notice!

Acquia announces rebranding of its “Acquia CMS” offering, which includes a collection of Drupal modules. “Acquia CMS” is now referred to as “Drupal Starter Kits”.

In the Headless mode, you can manage your data models from the **Content Models** menu.

By default, the Headless CMS provides four core data types or entity types. Each type can contain sub-types or bundles.

**Data type**

**Description**

**Content**

Content is the core of your structured content. If you use the Drupal Starter Kits content model, you see sub-types like Article, Person, Place, Page, and Event.

**Block**

Block is designed for one-off types of content. While Content data is often aggregated into lists, Block data is typically queried for a specific content purpose.

**Media**

Media is used for images, videos and file assets such as PDFs, but also for third-party media such as DAM assets, Tweets, and Youtube videos.

**Taxonomy**

Taxonomies are collections of terms to help categorize the other data types. They can form vocabularies in structured or unstructured groupings. Taxonomy is used to categorize or tag other data types.
