# Documents

Documents are content objects and represent an individual entity of data, e.g. a page, a product a single element of a website or a data object for a list. The schema of a `document` is defined in a [content type](/concepts-1/document-types.md).

## Adding Documents

At the top right corner of the webapp, you'll find a button with a 'Plus'-icon. On the dropdown menu you can choose from which type you want to create a document.

## Editing Documents

### The Writing Room

This is the place where editors compose and edit documents. It consists of two main parts, the [Content Area ](/concepts-1/documents.md#content-area)and the [Sidebar](/concepts-1/documents.md#sidebar)*.*

### Content Area

All of the fields defined for a `content type` appear on the left, main part of the Writing Room screen:

### Revisions

With revisions you can review and restore changes or versions of a document. Click the tab 'Revisions' to view and choose from different versions of your content.

You can preview and restore different versions of a document. If the document is published, you can decide to restore a version as draft.

### Drafts

You can create drafts for published documents if the content needs to be reviewed before it gets published, or if you are being interrupted while updating a document.

{% hint style="info" %}
Draft mode is available when a document has the `published` state.
{% endhint %}

### Publishing

#### Switch Button

Control wether a document is published or unpublished by clicking the desired state.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Save** the document for the publishing state to take effect.
{% endhint %}

#### Scheduled Publishing

Documents, e.g. an event, can be published automatically at a certain point in time. They can also be set to unpublished at a date or time, e.g. a few days after the event was over. \
Leave the field blank if you do not want to enable an option.

If you'd like to remove a document from [collections](/concepts-1/collections.md) after it was unpublished, simply enable the checkbox 'Unpublish and move to Archive'.

### Tags

Tags are used to describe a documents content or purpose. They may also be used as a filter argument to include or exclude documents from collections.

### Languages

You can filter translatable fields of a language by selecting the corresponding tab on the top of the Writing Room. [Locales](/concepts-1/locales.md) can be managed in the settings area of a repository*.*

## Deleting Documents

To delete a document you'll need to **move it to the Archive first**. You can do this by either (1) choosing it from any [collection](/concepts-1/collections.md) or the `All Documents` view by selecting the corresponding checkbox and clicking the 'Trashcan'-Button*.* Or (2) while in the `Writing Room`, open the Save Buttons context menu on the [sidebar](/concepts-1/documents.md#sidebar) and click 'Move to Archive'.

The `Archive` collects all of the documents you decided to move their manually, or automatically at a certain point of time, configured in the [Writing Room](/concepts-1/documents.md#the-writing-room).\
\
**To delete a document permanently:**

1. Navigate to 'Archive' by clicking 'Document Archive' on the bottom of the [Content Tree](/concepts-1/content-tree.md).
2. Select documents by clicking their checkbox.
3. Once you have selected the documents you want to delete, click the 'Trashcan' Button.
4. Confirm.
