Using the content modules

The content modules are located under the content tab. Use the Content tab to create reusable content. Once you create news, an event, or other content item, it is stored in the Sitefinity project and other users can view, use, and edit this content. The content items are displayed on one or more pages of your website using widgets. Each content item has a widget that is used to display only that specific content item. For example, the events are displayed on the website using the Events widget.
For more information about using widgets, see Widgets.

The content tab has the following dropdown menu, displaying all content modules:
