Craft CMS is the content management system that is powering this site.
Go to Craft 3 Documentation for more information about core concepts in this content management system.
Entries are the entities that hold content to display on web pages, such as the homepage, a blog post, or a contact page. Entries belong to sections, and they use fields to store content.
Sections are the entities that contain entries. There are three types of sections:
Fields are the elements that store content, such as a text field, an image field, or a dropdown field. Entries will contain a particular set of fields based on the content that the entry requires. Some entries won't have any fields if the content is regimented by the template it uses. Other entries will have many fields, or use a module field, to provide more freedom.
Go to Craft > Entries. Find the entry in question, and click the title. You will be directed to the entry edit page. Use the field labels and descriptions to guide you through the process. Click the "Save" button at the top of the page when you are done.
Go to Craft > Entries. Go to the desired section in the sidebar, either singles, a channel, or a structure. Click the "New entry" button at the top of the page.
