Content Management

Content management is the core activity for editors and administrators on a Varbase site. This section covers everything you need to know about creating, editing, publishing, and deleting content.

Overview

Varbase provides a robust content management system built on Drupal's content architecture. Key features include:

• Content Types: Pre-defined templates for different kinds of content (e.g., pages, articles, landing pages). Each content type has its own set of fields and configuration.

• Content Listing: A central listing of all content items, accessible at Content in the admin navigation or at /admin/content.

• Content Moderation: A publishing workflow with states (Draft, Published, Archived) that controls content visibility.

• Revision Tracking: Every edit creates a new revision, allowing you to review the history of changes and revert to previous versions.

• Bulk Operations: Perform actions on multiple content items at once using Views Bulk Operations.

Content Types

Varbase comes with several pre-configured content types. The specific content types available on your site depend on which Varbase recipes have been applied. Common content types include:

• Page: A basic content page for static information.

• Article / Blog Post: Time-based content with author attribution and categorization.

• Landing Page: A flexible page built with Layout Builder for marketing and promotional content.

Your site may include additional custom content types configured by your development team.

Content Listing

The content listing page (/admin/content) provides a filterable, sortable table of all content on your site. From this page, you can:

• Filter content by title, content type, published status, or language.

• Sort content by title, content type, author, or last updated date.

• Perform bulk operations on selected items.

• Click on a content title to view it, or use the operations dropdown to edit, delete, or translate it.

Key Tasks

• Create Content: Add new content to your site.

• Modify Content: Edit existing content items.

• Delete Content: Remove content (with soft-delete via Trash).

• Preview Content: Preview content before publishing.

• Bulk Edit Content: Perform actions on multiple items.

• Publish Content: Manage publishing states and scheduling.
