Content Models

A Content Model defines the fields and structure of a page type or component type. Think of it as a schema — it describes what data a piece of content can hold.

Creating a custom content model

1. Go to Content Models in the sidebar
2. Click New Content Model
3. Give it a name and an API ID (e.g. FeaturedCollection)
4. Add fields using the field editor

Field types

Type	Description
text	Single-line text
textarea	Multi-line plain text
richtext	Rich text with formatting (Tiptap editor)
number	Numeric value
boolean	True/false toggle
select	Dropdown with predefined options

Duplicating models

Click the ⋯ menu on any model and select Duplicate to create a copy with a new name and API ID. Useful for creating variants of existing component types.

API ID

The api_id is the key used when placing a component on a page. It must be unique within the space and use PascalCase (e.g. FeaturedCollection).
