Recommended Workflow
Please note that once a content group has been populated, you cannot edit the fields used, so this a recommended workflow:
- Create your content group fields;
- Create a test item in your content group;
- Ensure that your content group fields match your needs;
- Delete your test item;
- Modify your fields accordingly;
- Repeat steps 2 to 5 until you are happy with your content group fields.
