Creating and using custom modules

Sitefinity comes with a set of build-in modules. These modules are located under the Content tab in the main menu. The build-in Sitefinity modules are listed in Using the content modules. Depending on your license one or more of the modules may be unavailable.

The standard modules are used to create and share for example news, events, images, and more. If you need additional modules, you can create them with the Module Builder. For example, you can create a module for creating and storing frequently asked questions or press releases. When you create your own module, you can choose what fields it contains. When you activate a module, it becomes visible under the Content tab.
