Entries
Entries are instances of structured content that you create using predefined content types. Think of content types as blueprints and entries as the actual content built from those blueprints.
Each entry contains structured data for content pieces like articles, events, products, or any other content you need. Once created, entries become reusable assets that can power multiple experiences across your digital channels. You can use the same entry in different compositions, or integrate it with your applications using Uniform's SDKs and Edge Delivery API.
How entries differ from components#
An entry is structured content that represents a piece of content in a design-agnostic way. A component or composition describes the experience layer by defining which concrete UI component should be used to show particular content. Entries can also define relationships to other entries via references, which allows building complex content structures and reusing content.
By connecting the fields of an entry to the parameters of a component, you define how the content is displayed in a certain context. For example, you could show the same article entry in a hero, a card, or a list component. Which fields of an entry are shown can be different for each use case.

Quick start#
- Create a content type - Define the structure for your content in Content Types
- Create an entry - Use the content type as a template to author your first entry
- Use the entry - Connect it to compositions or consume it via API in your applications. See Using entries for detailed integration options.
