::: tip Before You Begin
|
|
|
|
A solid understanding about [Collections](/getting-started/glossary#collections),
|
|
[Items](/getting-started/glossary#items) and [Fields](/getting-started/glossary#fields) will help you use the Content
|
|
module efficiently.

## Collection Page
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Content Module consists of Collection Pages and Item Pages. Use the Navigation Bar on the left to move between
|
|
Collections. Each Collection Page displays all Items in its Collection and comes with highly configurable
|
|
[Layouts](/getting-started/glossary#layouts) for browsing, visualizing, and managing Items. The Page Header includes key
|
|
action buttons for sorting, searching, filtering, creating, editing, archiving, and deleting multiple Items. To learn
|
|
more, see our guide on the [Collection Page](/app/content/collections).
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
|
|
The Content module helps you manage Items. Collections are managed within the **Settings** menu, as these actions
|
|
results in changes to the data model. To learn more, see our guide on
|
|
[data model configuration](/configuration/data-model).

## Item Page
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you click an Item on the Collection page, its Item Page will open. The Item Page is a form that enables you to
|
|
view, edit or delete an Item and its field values. You can also comment on, share, archive, or revert an Item from this
|
|
form. To learn more, see our guide on the [Item Page](/app/content/items).

In any project, certain Collections will have limited access permissions. In some cases, you may need to share one of
|
|
the Items within the collection with an individual or group of individuals who don't yet have permission. In this case,
|
|
use Shares. Shares enable you to share an Item from a Collection with anyone, regardless of their permissions, and even
|
|
if they are not Users within the project. To learn more, see our guide on [Data Sharing](/app/content/shares).
