Entries

An entry is one piece of content: a landing page, a blog post, a customer story. This guide follows you writing Tidewater’s announcement of payment reminders.

After reading this guide, you will know:

• How to find entries, and make the listing show what you need.
• How to write one, and what the editor’s tabs hold.
• Where an entry’s URL comes from, and what happens when it changes.
• How pages are nested and ordered.
• How deleting and restoring work.

1. The listing

Open a collection in the sidebar — Blog — and its entries are listed.

• Search narrows the list by title as you type.
• Filters narrow it by status, blueprint, locale, author or topic. Save view keeps a combination you use often as a tab beside All and Drafts.
• The columns button, on the right, chooses which fields are shown. Your choice is remembered.
• The download button beside it exports the list as a CSV file.
• Click a column heading to sort by it.

Tick entries to act on several at once: publish, unpublish, move, add a topic or move to the trash.

Structured collections, such as Pages, also have a tree view, and dated ones, such as Blog, a calendar. Switch between them with the buttons at the top right.

2. Writing an entry

Choose the button at the top right — New blog here; its label is made from the collection’s title — and the editor opens:

The fields come from the entry’s blueprint, written for this site. Tidewater’s posts have:

Where	Holds
Content tab	the title, an excerpt and the body
SEO tab	how the post looks in search results and when shared — see Redirects and SEO
the column on the right	the slug, the publish date, the author, topics, featured image and template — and the parent page in a structured collection

On a narrow screen the right-hand column folds into a tab of its own, called Details.

Below it, Notes is for the team: leave one, and @mention someone to tell them. Notes never reach the site.

Fields with a red asterisk are required. The form tells you what is missing when you save, rather than failing silently.

Some fields worth knowing by name:

Field	What to expect
Rich text	a full editor: headings, lists, links, images, tables, code and find-and-replace
Markdown	plain Markdown, with a Preview button that shows exactly what the site will render
Assets	opens the media library, so you choose an image rather than upload another copy
Entries / Terms	a picker for other entries or terms — an author, a topic, related posts
Page blocks	build a page from blocks in any order: text, quote, call to action, image, gallery, pricing

3. URLs

An entry’s address comes from two things: the pattern its collection uses — Tidewater’s blog is /blog/{slug} — and the entry’s slug, the readable part. The slug is filled in from the title as you type, and you can change it in the column on the right.

Change the slug of an entry that is already live, and Nibble records a redirect from the old address to the new one. Links you have shared, other sites linking to you and search results all keep working. You can see the redirect under Redirects.

4. Nesting and ordering pages

In a structured collection — Pages — entries sit under one another. Use the tree view to drag a page under another, or choose its Parent in the column on the right. The URL follows the structure, so moving /integrations under /features makes it /features/integrations, with a redirect recorded from the old address.

The page whose slug is home, at the top level, is the site’s home page.

5. Deleting and restoring

Trash, at the top right of the editor, moves the entry to the trash. It leaves the site at once, and waits in Tools → Trash, where it can be restored — URL and all — until the trash is emptied, 30 days later unless the site says otherwise.

A page with pages under it cannot be trashed until they are moved or trashed first.
