Configure your content type settings in the content type editor tabs:
Fields — View the list of the existing fields, add a new field, or update the existing ones.
Name and description — Edit your content type name and description.
Groups — Create field groups to organize fields in the page editor in Compose.
Sidebar — Add or remove custom built-in items and/or apps installed in your space to your entry sidebar.
Entry editors — Add or remove tabs to your entry editor. Note that in the "JSON preview" tab, you can view your content type JSON, which dynamically changes as you update the content type.
