When you create or edit a content list, it opens as a new tab. Depending on whether you select **![Actions](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_actions.png)** | **Edit Fields** or **![Actions](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_actions.png)** | **Edit Records** on the Overview tab, the content list opens in the [fields view](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_content_edit.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5) or the [records view](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_content_edit.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5). If the content list doesn't yet have any fields, it opens in the fields view by default.

## The Fields View

![The fields view in a content list, numbered 1-4.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_content.png)

In the fields view, you can:

- Use the Available Fields pane (1) to [add fields to the content list](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_content_fields_edit.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "As a site administrator or designer, you can add fields to a content list and edit field properties to suit your needs.").
- Rearrange fields on the page canvas (2) by dragging them to the correct location.
- Use the Properties pane (3) to [modify the properties](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_content_field_props.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When adding or editing fields in a content list, use the options in the Properties pane to control how the selected field functions.") of a selected field.
- Use the toolbar (4) to switch to the records view. You can't open the records view until you add fields to the content list.

## The Records View

![The records view in a content list, numbered 1-3.](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_content_records.png)

In the records view, you can:

- To [create records](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_content_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Create content lists to store site content such as blogs or articles that you can display dynamically on your site pages."), [import records](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_content_xml_import.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Import records from existing press releases, articles, or blogs into your site’s content lists. For example, if you have a blog that’s hosted elsewhere, you can export the blog’s posts and then import the contents to use in your site."), and switch to the fields view, use the toolbar (1).
- To delete multiple selected records, use the **Bulk Actions** menu (2).
- To [edit, delete, or duplicate the record](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.siteforce_content_manage_records.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Each content item in a content list is stored as a record that you can edit, delete, and duplicate."), use the record's ![Actions](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-platform-extend_click-264-0-0-production-enus/5f7d9219-b7b1-4552-8891-f1aba9b289fc/extend_click/images/siteforce_icon_actions.png) menu (3).
