To learn about how Studio CMS works and the general steps for publishing content, check out the articles below.
The CMS Dashboard is a dedicated screen for managing all your CMS content in one place.
In Studio.Design, you create content managed by the CMS on this dedicated screen, then link it to boxes (elements) in the Design Editor to display it on your site.
This article covers the basics of using the CMS Dashboard.
Opening the CMS Dashboard
You can open the CMS Dashboard in two ways.
From the Project Dashboard
Select the project you want from the project list.
Click the [CMS] tab at the top of the Project Dashboard.
From the Design Editor
Select the project you want from the project list.
Click the Studio icon [／S] in the upper left, then select [CMS] from the main menu.
Basic Screen Layout
Studio CMS content is made up of three elements: CMS Models, CMS Items, and CMS Properties.
For more details on each element, see the linked articles below.
