Create and Apply Labels

When you create or edit a content type, the Content Type Builder page displays an Apply Label option at the top-right corner. Clicking this option displays a list of existing labels, if available.

Note: Labels are branch-specific. Labels created in one branch, such as the development branch, can only be applied to content types within that same branch. For more details, refer to the Branch-specific Modules document.

To create a new label, log in to your Contentstack account and perform the following steps:

1. Go to your stack, click the “Content Models” icon on the left navigation panel, and open the Content Type Builder page for the content type to which you want to apply the label.
2. Click the Apply Label dropdown on the top-right corner to apply an existing label or click + New Label.
3. In the dialog box that appears, fill in the following details:
   1. Name (required): Provide a suitable name for the label.
   2. Nest Label Under (optional): If you want to nest this label under an existing label, select it from the dropdown. Leave this blank if creating a standalone label.
4. Save the label using one of these options:
   1. Create: Saves the label for future use.
   2. Create & Apply: Saves the label and immediately applies it to the content type.
