# How Contentstack Works

Managing content in Contentstack is easy and does not involve any coding. It’s a simple 3-step process.

1.  ## Model your content
    
    Define the structure of your content in a platform-independent way. This involves creating a content type and adding relevant fields such as “single-line textbox,” “date,” “file”. Adding fields is a simple drag-and-drop process.
    
2.  ## Create content
    
    Once the required content types are ready, any user can add content, which is like filling up a form. Multiple users can work together in teams to create important content in multiple languages.
    
3.  ## Publish content
    
    The content, once created, can be published to your website, mobile app, or any other channel. The same content can be reused for any platform.
