Going Further With Interactive Features

Our Quick Start session is nearly finished, but we will show you a few more things before closing this guide. You have already learned how to add, edit, move and delete content, which are the most fundamental operations. You have worked in the Edit, Preview and Live Modes, seen how a page is composed of multiple content items and how the content moves from staging to Live.

But editing content is not worthy if there are no readers. In order to attract, and then retain, readers it is essential to provide the maximum added-value around that content, whether it is complementary information, efficient navigation and search tools or interactive features, for instance. Demonstrations of what Jahia can do would take hours, but we will take three simple examples to show you how it works.

With Jahia, everything that appears in a page and is stored in the repository is Content - not Editorial Content, but Content. This is very important because it means users can add advanced features to their pages the same way they created pages, news items, articles and other press releases. In Jahia a feature, even the most complex feature, can be manipulated like any other content.
