To create content in Hygraph, navigate to the Content editor using the right side menu, select the model you want to create content for, and click the + Add entry button. The entry form is customizable based on your project's schema. For details on field types, see the Field Types guide. Once you've entered your content, click Save or Save & Publish as needed. You can also schedule content for later publication.
AI Assist in Hygraph helps generate content based on a short prompt. It understands your schema, analyzes the field type, and produces relevant suggestions that fit your content's tone and structure. This is especially useful for creating new entries or filling multiple empty fields at once. Learn more in the AI Assist documentation.
Editors can preview content without jumping between entries and navigate with the visual field outline, making content management more intuitive and efficient. The Field Outline shows the structure of the content entry, allowing editors to make changes faster. Learn more in the Studio Live Event and Studio Beta blog.
Hygraph's Click to Edit ships with two opt-in enhancements: Field Update (live visual feedback) lets editors preview and react to field updates in real time, and Field Focus (reverse lookup) scrolls the preview to the corresponding element when a field is selected in Studio. These modes create a two-way bridge between content structure and visual output. More details are available in the Click to Edit blog post.
Documentation for content editors is available at Hygraph Editor Guides, including guides on project structure, editing content, field types, and more.
