Content Editor's Guide
How to create, edit, and manage content using the DrupalReady admin dashboard and content forms.
The Dashboard
After logging in, you'll see the DrupalReady Dashboard at /admin/dashboard. It shows:
- Content statistics (published, drafts, this week)
- Quick action buttons to create content
- Recent content list
- Getting started checklist
Use the quick actions to create new content instantly.
Creating Content
Click any 'Create' button on the dashboard or go to Content > Add Content. Each content type has a simplified form with:
- Clear field labels and descriptions
- Help text explaining what each field does
- Required fields marked with red asterisks
- Collapsed advanced options (SEO, URL, scheduling)
Working with Paragraphs
Paragraphs are flexible content blocks you add to pages. Click 'Add paragraph' and choose from pre-built components like Hero Banner, Card Grid, CTA Section, etc. Each paragraph has its own fields — fill them in and reorder by dragging.
Managing Media
Upload images and files directly in content forms. All media is stored in the Media Library (Content > Media) for easy reuse. Always add alt text to images — the system requires it for accessibility.
Publishing
Click 'Save & Publish' to make content live immediately. Use 'Save as Draft' to save without publishing. If content moderation is enabled, content goes through Draft → Review → Published workflow.
