Create a New Stack With Assets

A stack is a centralized repository that stores and manages content types, entries, and linked assets for a project. It provides a structured environment for teams to create, manage, and publish content across channels.

To create a new stack, log in to your Contentstack account and perform the steps given below:

1. Navigate to CMS through “App Switcher”.
2. Click + New Stack.
3. Select Create New.
4. Enter the required information:
   • Name (required)
   • Description (optional)
   • Master Language (required)

     Note The master language cannot be changed after the stack is created.

5. Assets are stored in spaces, not directly within stacks. Choose how to link the stack to a space.
   • Create and Link a New Space:
     • A new space is created with the same name as the stack.
     • A default workspace (e.g., main) is created within the space.
     • The stack owner becomes the space owner.
     • The workspace is linked to the stack’s main branch.
   • Link an Existing Space: Disable the toggle, then select an existing space and workspace.
6. Click Create.

Once the stack is created:

• You are redirected to the newly created stack.
• The selected workspace is linked to the main branch.
• Assets from the linked workspace become immediately available in the stack.
• You can manage linked spaces from Settings > Assets Hub.
