Article

An article is a basic content type for publishing text interspersed with graphics or videos. Articles tend to be the backbone of any website, and can be used for a variety of use cases. Articles can serve as evergreen content, with a large body of text to support a privacy policy, or they can be used to feature brief updates about a breaking news event. They are highly flexible and have myriad uses.
