Content model and content type

What is a content model?

A content model defines the structure and organization of your content in a space. By setting up a content model, you ensure consistency, reusability, and effective management of your content.

A content model is the total of all content types within a space, with each content type being a building block of the content model. Content types can be linked to each other through the reference field.

Content type purpose

A content type serves as a template that defines how a certain kind of content is structured in a space and represented in the frontend application. For example, you can have a content type for a landing page, a hero banner, or a blog post.
