Managing Entries or Content

If the currently selected entity is a collection, the "Content" panel is called "Entries" and shows the child entries under that collection. It provides details of each entry. An entry can be either another collection or a resource.

If the currently selected entity is a resource, the "Content" panel provides a user interface through which one can display, edit, upload, and download the content.
