Status: **Available**

Content is everything a site publishes: your own structured collections, the blog, pages built from sections, and the header, footer and settings shared by every page. The same content serves the Kanorio-hosted site and any front end you build.

## Core objects

- **Collections and items.** You define a collection's fields, such as text, rich text, numbers, dates, media and references to other collections, and its items hold the data. Collections can restrict fields to members or buyers.
- **Posts.** The blog is a set of built-in collections: posts, categories, tags and authors. Posts support review before publishing and scheduled publishing.
- **Pages and sections.** Each page is an ordered list of typed sections. The hosted site renders them; a headless front end reads the same data.
- **Globals.** The header, footer and site settings, such as call-to-action buttons and social links.
- **Redirects and revisions.** Renaming a page creates a redirect automatically, and earlier versions of content can be restored.
- **Imports.** Move posts from another platform, with images, categories and original dates kept.

## How the APIs fit

- Write with the Management API. Writes to pages, globals and posts are drafts until a publish operation runs. Collection items publish immediately unless you ask for a draft.
- Read published content with the Content Delivery API. It is anonymous, edge-cached and safe for the browser, and every response resolves media in one `assets` map.
- Listen for `collections.item.*`, `content.page.*` and `content.translation.*` webhooks, whose `cacheTags` let you refresh exactly the pages that changed, in exactly the locales that changed.
