# EntityQueues

EntityQueues allow you to create manually ordered lists of content items. They are ideal for situations where automatic sorting (by date, title, etc.) is not sufficient and you need full editorial control over the order in which items appear.

## What Are EntityQueues?

An EntityQueue is a named, ordered collection of content (or other entity) references. Each queue has a defined set of content items arranged in a specific order. Queues are typically displayed on the site using views or blocks that pull from the queue.

Common use cases include:

* **Featured content**: A curated list of articles or pages highlighted on the homepage.
* **Staff directory**: An ordered list of team members.
* **Promoted resources**: A hand-picked selection of resources or downloads.
* **Slider / Carousel content**: An ordered set of items for a rotating banner.

## Accessing EntityQueues

1. Navigate to **Structure > EntityQueues** in the admin navigation sidebar, or go to `/admin/structure/entityqueue`.
2. You will see a list of all available queues on your site.
3. Each queue shows its name, the type of entities it contains, and the number of items currently in the queue.

## Managing a Queue

### Viewing Queue Items

1. Click **Edit items** next to the queue you want to manage.
2. You will see the current list of items in the queue, displayed in their current order.

### Reordering Items

1. In the queue editing interface, drag and drop items to rearrange their order.
2. Click **Save** to apply the new order.

### Removing Items

1. In the queue editing interface, click the **Remove** button or link next to the item you want to remove from the queue.
2. Click **Save** to apply the change.

Removing an item from a queue does not delete the content itself. It only removes it from the queue.

## Permissions

Access to manage EntityQueues is controlled by user permissions. Typically, Content Admins and Site Admins have the ability to manage queue items. Contact your site administrator if you need access to manage queues.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.varbase.vardot.com/content-designers/content-structure/entityqueues.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
