How can I set up an approval workflow?
You can use space roles and permissions to set up an approval workflow.
Editor: Can view, create, edit and delete content, is the only one who can publish it
Author: Can create content, but not publish or delete it
Translator: Can edit content for the language they are assigned to, but not modify the original
After roles are assigned, you can use tasks and scheduled publishing to ensure content is reviewed and published according to schedule.
I want sub-categories. How can I set them up?
Sub-categories can be easily created by adding them to the content model. Navigate to Content model > Add content type and add the relevant fields, then save the new content type.
Once the content type is created, engineering support will be needed to enable editors to use it.
How do I add images to an article?
Images are added to articles by uploading them as assets to Contentful, and then embedding them in the relevant entry.
Open or create the entry for the article you want to add images to.
In the editor entry, click the Embed asset button.
Select the asset you’d like to embed.

Where can I see changes people have made to an article?
As changes are made to each entry, Contentful autosaves these entries. After an entry is published, a snapshot is taken. When a published entry is edited and these subsequent changes are published, another snapshot is taken. In the Versions section of the entry editor, you can compare these snapshots to each other to see what changes have been made over time. Read about versions in our Help Center.
