Content Studio

Write, publish and manage the pages of your website, app or help centre, with search settings, version history and an AI writing helper.

Content Studio is where you write and publish the pages that live on your website, app or help centre. You write once here, and your site shows what you publish. Each site holds its own pages, folders and search settings, and everything is kept with a full version history.

What you can do

Before you start

  • Who can use it: the Website content app on the Roles page. Can view reads pages including drafts, Can write drafts edits them, Can publish puts pages live, and Full control also creates and deletes sites and changes site settings. See Team & Permissions.
  • You can limit a role to one site with Advanced rules. The Media library is controlled separately from individual sites.
  • If you have no content access at all, the app shows "No access to Content Studio".
  • Content Studio can be switched off in Settings → Apps. It must be on to use it.
  • To let your website read what you publish, a role for visitors who are not signed in must give Published pages the level Readable by anyone. See Team & Permissions.

Where to find it

  • Pages — the folder explorer for the open site.
  • Media — the image and file library shared by every site.
  • Site settings — name, writing style, custom fields and developer addresses.

Key ideas

Term What it means
Site One place your content is published, such as a website, an app or a help centre.
Page One piece of content with a title, text, a web address, tags and search settings.
Web address Where the page lives on your site, such as blog/hello. It is also its folder.
Folder Pages whose web address starts with the same words. Folders have no setup of their own.
Draft A page that has never been published, or has been unpublished.
Live The page is published and your site shows it.
Unpublished changes A live page you have edited since publishing. The live version stays as it was until you publish again.
Archived Retired: off your site and hidden from the default list, but not deleted.
