Additional Information

​

Entry Validation

Validation rules defined on a content model are enforced when an entry is published, not when a draft is saved. Clicking Save on a draft entry does not trigger validation, so a required field can be left empty and the draft will still save. This includes a Text field that has both pre-defined values and a required validator. The required-field check runs only on Save & Publish. A draft saved in an incomplete state still appears on the entries page, identified by its objectId#revision value rather than by the empty field. To review or change the rules that are enforced at publish time, see Field Validation on the Create Content Model page.

​

Content Revision

Every time you save any content entry, a new revision is created. You can see all the content revisions in the REVISONS tab.
