content_folder

Content Repository : content_folder

 

Overview

Content folders contain related content items and allow content managers to group content as they see fit. Within a content folder, content items must have unique names since this is where they will be served from. For example within the folder "movies" (served from "/movies") all items must have unique names, such as: "terminator," "terminator2" (served from "/movies/terminator, "/movies/terminator2" respectively).
