Content Management actions are the building blocks that help to create and manage content within an application. The following actions are performed on content within the application.

Content Overview

If you think of an online magazine, the main content includes articles, ads, and the covers. Three main types of Mobile On-Demand content can be created within AEM:

Articles: text based along with art to convey information
Banners: typically graphical promotional links
Collections: represent a well defined bucket filled with content such as articles or banners that suits the cover’s theme
Shared Resources: allows reuse or sharing of common pieces across articles
