This is the menu where you actually create pages and blocks in Drupal.
The menu for creating pages in Drupal is the content introduced in this article. The usage and examples will be summarised in subsequent articles on page creation, so this is just an overview. By explaining this article and the overview of site construction in the next section, we hope that you will be able to understand the concept of creating pages, the necessity of basic settings for the pages you create, and the necessity of settings for how the pages you create will be used on your site.
The content menu consists of four items.
The content menu is where you actually create your pages. Select a page template, known as a content type, and write your article in the fields provided, such as title and body.
Click {Add content}
[1] Basic Pages
Use the basic page for content that is rarely updated, such as ‘About us’.
[2] Articles
Use Articles for content where a timeline is important, such as news, press releases and blogs.
*The actual screen is not no. Depending on the theme you install, this may vary.
screen, select the desired content type and create the page. The difference between an article and a basic page is that an article has fields for images and tags.
In this menu, you can create and edit pages, view and manage them. Adding content types and adding fields to existing content types must be done in the Structure content type.

Drupal refers to pages and blocks collectively as content. One of Drupal's best features is the ability to place multiple blocks within a single page, which will be explained in more detail in a later article.Easy to understand page layouts, such as changing the side menu for each category of articles, are easily possible.
Blocks are the content used for this page layout. Blocks, like pages, are made up of HTML and CSS, but unlike pages, they do not have a URL. The difference between a block and a page is that a block does not have a URL.
Click {Add content block}
[1] Basic block
The basic block has a title and body.
[2] Search.
*The actual screen does not have No. It may vary depending on the theme you install.
The screen will appear and you can select a basic block and create a block. You can set up a search field in the page, which can be used as required. Basic blocks, like the content that creates the page, also have fields for entering a title and content.
This menu allows you to create and edit blocks, as well as view and manage the blocks you have created. Adding block types and adding fields to existing block types must be done in the Site building block type.

The comments menu manages the display of user-written comments when comments are placed on articles. By default, comments are approved in order to prevent comment spam etc., so comment approval is also carried out here. The comments are displayed in units of comments, but which articles are also displayed in the field, so you can manage the comments for all articles.
The comment function is not used and the details have not been grasped, so this is an overview only.

This menu allows you to manage the files used on your site. The main files used are image files; most of the time images are uploaded in Drupal when you create an article. You will see a list of the images you have uploaded. You can see the actual file, its type and which content it is used for. The only thing you can do here is to check and delete files.
File screen structure

|---- [4.1] Searching for files
// Filtering files.
|
|---- [4.2] List of files
// List of files on the site
This article gives an overview of the Content menu, but what you can do in the Content menu is create pages and blocks using the content types provided, which means that setting up content types and creating new content types must be done in the Structure menu .
I'm sorry to say that I've talked about this a lot, but if you don't understand this basic concept, you may not be able to create the pages you want in Drupal, or build the site structure you intend. On the other hand, understanding these basic concepts will enable you to use Drupal's excellent features to create pages and configure your site as you wish.
