Before diving into the UI, it helps to understand the core phases of content creation and delivery in Experro’s headless CMS. These core concepts help you to understand the platform and the content creation workflow better and customize the content exactly as per your needs.

​
1. Modeling Your Content

  • Content Models Define the blueprint for each type of content you’ll manage such as blog posts, product pages, landing pages, event listings, and more.
    • Specify Fields such as Text, Rich Text, Number, Date, Boolean, or Relation.
    • Configure model settings (Single entry vs. Multi entry type, display names etc.).
  • Components Group related fields into reusable blocks (for example, an “Image + Caption” component or a “Feature Card” component).
    • Build once, then embed components inside multiple Models.
    • Components ensure consistency and speed up page assembly.
Why Models & Components Matter

Proper modeling keeps your data structured, enforces consistency, and makes it easy to evolve your schema over time without breaking existing content.

​
2. Creating Entries in the Content Library

  • Entries Each Model automatically generates an entry in the Content Library. Editors use this entry in content library to create individual records i.e., your actual web pages, product entries, or data objects.
  • Managing Entries
    • Search, filter, and sort entries by title, status, date, or custom fields.
    • Preview entries before publishing to see how they’ll render on your front end.
    • Publish entries to make them live on your website.

​
3. Laying Out Pages with the Visual Builder

  • Canvas Interface Open any content entry in the Visual Builder to drag and drop fields and Components into your desired layout.
  • Live Preview See exactly how each entry will render on your front end without writing a single line of code.
  • Custom Layouts Apply grid or section layouts, resize components, and adjust styling properties right in the builder.

​
4. Publishing & Scheduling

  • Publish Queue
    • Immediate Publishing: Push your entry live as soon as it’s ready.
    • Scheduled Publishing: Set a future date and time to automatically go live.
  • Version Control Every publish action creates a new revision. Roll back to any previous version if needed.
  • API / CDN Delivery Once published, content is deployed to Experro’s CDN and exposed via API endpoints for fast, global retrieval.
Stagger large content releases by scheduling key entries in advance, and monitor the Publish Queue to ensure no items are missed.

​
5. Structuring Your Site with Navigation

  • Menus & Links Use the Navigation section to build hierarchical menus for header, footer, sidebar, or custom navigation components.
  • Link Targets Link menu items to any published entry, external URL, or anchor within a page.
Why Navigation Matters

A well‑structured menu not only guides users through your site but also helps search engines discover and index your content effectively.
With these five phases in mind, Model → Library → Builder → Publish → Navigation, you’ll have a clear mental map of Experro’s content lifecycle. The following chapters will guide you step‑by‑step through each of these areas in the UI.
