Content Schema Builder

The Schema Builder allows you to define the structure of your content. There are two main types of schemas: Singles and Collections.

Schema Types

Singles

Single schemas represent standalone content that only has one instance. Examples include:

• Homepage
• About Page
• Privacy Policy
• Global Settings

Single schemas are ideal for unique content that doesn't need multiple entries.

Collections

Collection schemas represent content types that can have multiple entries. Examples include:

• Blog Posts
• Products
• Team Members
• FAQ Items

Collections are perfect for content that follows the same structure but needs multiple entries.

Schema Status

Active vs Archived

• Active: Default state for schemas. Content can be created, edited, and published.
• Archived:
  • No new content can be created
  • Existing content remains accessible but marked as archived
  • Hidden from content creation forms
  • Visible in the "Archived" tab or with reduced opacity in "All" view
  • Can be used to phase out deprecated content types

Archiving Schemas

You can archive schemas in two ways:

1. Bulk Archive: Select multiple schemas using the checkboxes and click the "Archive" action in the selection bar
2. Individual Archive: Use the "Manage Schema" button on a specific schema

Archiving is reversible and is recommended over deletion when:

• Deprecating content types that still have existing content
• Temporarily disabling content creation for specific types
• Maintaining content history while preventing new entries

Field Types

The following field types are available when building your schema:

Field Type	Description
text	Multi-line text area for longer content
markdown	Rich text editor with markdown support
reference	Reference to other content items
boolean	True/false toggle
number	Numeric input
