Create content inside a category

In eXo Platform, you can create new content in any folders or directly in a CLV with Incontext Editing. However, to facilitate the content management, categories are usually used to sort and organize documents that makes your desired searches more quickly. Also, creating content inside a category helps you manage and publish them effectively.

After creating a document, you should categorize it by adding it to a category. Otherwise, documents should be created right in a category and links to those documents will be automatically created in the category. In eXo Platform, categories are stored in JCR.

  2. Click the New Content button to create new content. See the Add a document section to know how to add new content. The new content is a Symlink. To view the content, simply click the Symlink.
