Editing a Product in Contentful

The approach of editing a product requires a good understanding of contentful models and best practices.

The step by step will help you editing a product in your workspace

Log in to Contentful and select your Space

The space selector allows you to switch between the different spaces of your different projects. The main elements are:

• Organization name: the organization name to which these spaces belong is located at the top.
• Space list: a list of all spaces you’re a member of. Select a space to see its contents. You can also switch between environments. More than likely you will have a Staging and a Production environment
• 

  Workspace

The Content page displays a list of all your content entries in that space. This is where you can publish, duplicate, edit, delete or archive your entries in bulk

• Add entry button: Adds an entry of a specific content type.
• Search and filter field: quickly search for entries by name or filter to specific content types to narrow in on what you see in the list.
• Save as view button: Save a view that displays a list of entries you searched for. By saving the current view, you will be able to re-use it later.
• Content list: all content is listed here depending on what you filter or search for.
• Bulk actions: allows you to perform an action to multiple entries at once. The actions displayed depend on the status of the selected entries.
• Select visible columns button: customize the columns displayed in the content list to show only what you need.
• Scheduled content link: View a list of content that is scheduled to be published.
• Saved views list: Allows you to quickly jump to a content list you previously saved. For example, you can view all entries by the type of content or by status, but also any of the pages you usually work with.

In this example, let’s assume that we want to update some entries for Product 1

we know that this Product is published and displaying on your site

To make a change you can either select Content Any and type the Name of your Product, or narrow it down to Content Type = Product and see a list of all your Product

Click on Product 1

Take a look at the Content Editor page - the main elements of the entry editor are:



• Title bar: displays the title of the current entry and its content type (above the title). In our case Product/Product 1
• Main content area: edit the contents of that product
• Actions button: Where you perform an action for an entry (Publish, Scheduled, Archive and such...)
• Status: see the status of an entry. Currently in our case, the Status is Published
• Tasks: assign tasks for someone to complete.
• Preview: preview an entry on a live or preview site.
• Links: See a list of other entries where this entry is used.
• Translation: enable languages for an entry, and and then add content for that language - useful if you have international Stores
• Versions: select a version, compare it with the current version and then revert any changes you need.
