(warning) If you want to publish an entry with references, Contentstack will probably ask you, if you want to publish the entry with or without references. → Normally, you want to publish with references.
As already said, the referenced entries stay independent in regards to their edit and publish status. Technically, if you publish with references, Contentstack publishes multiple entries in one process.

(info) Please refer to “Organize Content in Contenstack” to learn more about the handling of referenced entries.

How and where do I edit content?

Info

If you change the reference to an entry, this does not impact the referenced entry. So, if you are not sure if you break something by changing the referenced entry, it might be better to create a new instead.

(warning) Best Practice: Instead of starting from scratch, you can also copy an entry and adapt the copy to your needs.
If you aim at copying an entry and to edit the copy, please follow these steps:

  1. Leave the entry that you are currently editing. Take care to save you current status!

  2. Click “Content” in the main menu

  3. Select the Content Type where you can find the Entry you want to copy. E.g. go to “Web Page” “Content Block” if you want to copy a web page.

  4. Search for the desired entry. Above the list you find a search field. This might help you especially if there is a very long list.

  5. To create the copy, you have two options:

    1. Hover over the row in the list view. At the right side an icon appears with three dots. Click the icon to open a context menu. In the context menu click “copy”

    2. Click the entry to open the detail view. At the bottom, you find a “more” button. Click the button to see the options and click “copy”.

  6. The detail view of the copy opens and you can do all changes you need.
