The content model defines which fields are required and which fields are not mandatory.

GraphCMS allows the set-up of additional content stages (e.g. a QA and/or ARCHIVED stage) depending on your plan.

Connecting related contentAnchor

For content models that have references, you can either connect an existing entry, or create and connect a new one.

Relate existing contentAnchor

  • A popup listing all the possible entries of that model will appear.
  • Press the link icon at the far left of the content entry.

Relate new contentAnchor

  • An in-line content editor window for the selected type will appear.
  • Fill out for the form's fields.
  • Choose to "save" or "save and publish" to create a DRAFT or DRAFT and PUBLISHED entry in the related model. Connecting will happen automatically.

Connecting different types of contentAnchor

If the relation field you're connecting content to is a union type then you can connect to different content type entries.
