Summary

You've been forced to learn a new content management system (CMS) as part of an organizational change, and you're being offered the benefits of using Contentful, which stores and distributes all types of content, including video, music, images, text, and structured documents. With Contentful, you can create landing pages, polish product descriptions, tweak signup forms, and publish on a corporate blog from a single hub. The system separates content from presentation, allowing editors to work independently without developers constantly needing to approve changes. This separation also makes it easier to reuse and adapt content across multiple platforms and devices. Contentful's rich text editor offers visual formatting options, while the UI extensions enable custom editing experiences. The platform also provides roles and permissions management, allowing teams to control access and workflow. Additionally, Contentful includes a preview feature that enables editors to review their content before publishing, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
