Content Folder

The Building BlocksContent folder is where all website content , in the form of components, is items are built and saved. It houses all of the content which exists on the pages of your site. All content for a publication lives within its associated Building Blocks content folder, with the exception of child publications, where content lives in the parent publication's Building Blocks folder.

In Tridion, an individual piece of content is referred to as a component.

Shared content items.

  • Content block types provide ready-made templates for displaying content information or assets (such as text, images, video, etc.) on the pages of your site. (For more information about ComponentsContent types, please see these instructions: Introduction to Beatrix CMSComponents)

  • All components items are built in the Building BlocksContent folder.

Within the Building Blocks folder, components are saved in the Content folder. Generally, within the Content folder there will be additional yellow component folders which mirror how your site's pages are organized. Content folder, we recommend using folders that mimic the navigation of the site for ease in finding associated materials. For example, components which will be used for pages in the Research section of your site should be saved in a folder titled "Research."

...

Copying the navigation structure of your website will help you find components faster when adding them to pages.

Info

For websites which have a parent publication (labelled with - (1)) all components should be created in the parent publication.

Notice how in the Cardiovascular Medicine folder, the other folders are appropriately named after sections in the site (About Us, Clinical Programs, etc).

Pages

The pink folders, or structure groups, represent the navigation structure of the website. After building components content items in the Building Blocks Content folder, components those items are placed on pages within the root Pages folder.
