Now that you're familiar with how sites and blogs are organized in IWP, the next step is understanding the different types of content you can create and manage.
IWP uses different content types for different kinds of information, such as articles, pages, events, documents and videos. Each content type has its own fields and features designed for that kind of content. Choosing the right content type helps keep information consistent, accessible and easier for visitors to find and use.
Use the guides below to learn about each content type and when to use it. Once you know which type you need, you can move on to learning how to create and edit content.
