Save and Publish content

Hygraph allows the set-up of additional content stages (e.g. a QA and/or ARCHIVED stage) depending on your plan.

The following diagram shows a simplified workflow including 3 content stages - DRAFT, APPROVAL and PUBLISHED - as well as two roles: Editor & Editor Supervisor.

#Connecting related content

For content models that have references, you can either connect an existing entry, or create and connect a new one.

#Relate existing content

• A popup listing all the possible entries of that model will appear.
• Press the link icon at the far left of the content entry.

#Relate new content

• An in-line content editor window for the selected type will appear.
• Fill out for the form's fields.
• Choose to "save" or "save and publish" to create a DRAFT or DRAFT and PUBLISHED entry in the related model. Connecting will happen automatically.

#Connecting different types of content

If the relation field you're connecting content to is a union type then you can connect to different content type entries.
