#### Lesson text

### **What are the types of Content Type?**

Contentstack allows you to customize a content type to meet various business requirements, you can create a webpage(s), the partials of your webpage (header, footer, or menu), or experiences in your mobile application.

Contentstack classifies Content Types into three types:

*   Single Page Component/Content Type
    
*   Multiple Page Component/Content Type
    
*   Multi-Reusable Component/Content Type
    

# **Video: Different Types of Content Types** 

The following video shows you how to change a Content Type type and some examples of the different types.

# **Exercise 2 Video**

Follow along with the video to practice building Content Types.

# **Understanding with an example**

*   **Single Page Component/Content Type** - If you want to create one-off pages that have a unique content type structure, you must make them as ‘Single Page Component/Content Type.’ Select **‘Single’** while creating the content type to achieve this. The below diagram gives you an illustration of the same.  
    Example: Home Page, About Us Page, Privacy Policy Page, etc. All these pages are one-off pages on a website.

*   **Multiple Page Component/Content Type** - If you want to create multiple pages using the same content type structure, you must create them as a ‘Multiple Page Component/Content Type.’ Select **‘Multiple’** while creating the content type to achieve this. Refer to the diagram below for an example.  
    Example: Blog Pages, Product Pages, etc.

*   **Multi Reusable Component/Content Type** - If you need to make multiple entries that are not pages and can be referred to or used as partial components, you should create them as a 'Multi Reusable Component/Content Type.' Select the type **‘Multiple’** while creating the content type, then use it as a **‘Reference’** in any Content Type that contains a reference field. The below diagram illustrates this.  
    Example: Authors(for the Blog Pages), Categories(for the Product Pages), etc…

**Quick Tips**:  
If you want to create a single page entry for your content type like a ‘Home Page’ or ‘Contact Us Page,’ always go for type ‘Single.’  
If you want to create multiple page entries for your content type like a ‘Blog Pages’ or ‘Product Pages,’ always go for type ‘Multiple.’

#### Key takeaways

- Connect **Content Type Classification** back to your stack configuration before moving to the next module.
- Capture one concrete artifact (screenshot, Postman call, or code snippet) that proves the step works in your environment.
- Re-read the delivery versus management boundary for anything you changed in the entry model.
