Welcome to Headless! This guide will help you get started with creating and managing content for your applications.

Creating Your Account

  2. Enter your name, email address, and password
  3. Check your email for a verification link
  4. Click the link to verify your account
  5. Log in with your credentials

Two-Factor Authentication (Optional)

  4. Enter the 6-digit code to confirm

Quick Start

Once you're logged in, here's how to get started:

  1. Create an Organization - Organizations are the top-level container for your projects and team
  2. Create a Project - Projects contain your content types, entries, and media
  3. Define Content Types - Set up the structure for your content (like "Blog Post" or "Product")
  4. Create Entries - Add actual content based on your content types
  5. Access via API - Use the REST or GraphQL API to fetch your content

Keyboard Shortcuts

Use the search bar in the header to find content across your organization:

  1. Press / or click the search icon to open search
  2. Type your search query
  3. Use filters to narrow results:
    • Project: Search within a specific project
    • Content Type: Filter by content type
    • Type: Search entries, media, or both
  4. Click a result to navigate directly to it

Search finds matches in:

  • Entry titles and field content
  • Media filenames and alt text

Tip: If semantic search is enabled on a project, results include AI-powered matches that find content by meaning, not just keywords.
