New CMS Content types

When creating a page for your website you need to select a Content type. The Content type defines the base template, initial content and components used for the new page. Content types help you to organise and update your content more efficiently.

New CMS components

Websites contain numerous types of building blocks, such as promo boxes, news feeds and course cards. These components help you to build effective layouts and maintain a consistent visual style across your website.
