Source CMS has the following fundamental types of content:

• Pages

• CMS content

Pages

Pages are built using the Drupal Canvas user interface. They are primarily used to create visual content that is intended to be displayed in a browser. For instance, a typical “Landing Page” should be built as a Page.

CMS content is intended to be reusable across multiple channels, contexts, and pages. For example, you can create a Press Release CMS content, which can be embedded on a page, accessed through an API, and displayed in a list of Press Releases. It would have a predefined structure such as Title, Byline, Post Date, and Thumbnail Image. For more information on fields, visit Fields.

CMS content enables you to maintain consistency in your content structure, repurpose content for different experiences, and scale your content operations efficiently.
