This content is stored in [Salesforce content management system (CMS)](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?language=en_US&id=community_managed_content_overview.htm&type=5) articles. These articles are separate from the API documentation stored in Exchange. The API release process includes API documentation updates, and the CMS article release process is usually separate. Often a development team will lead the API release process and a marketing team will lead the CMS article release process. ## Create a New Article in Salesforce CMS > [!NOTE] You can also author API Community Manager content in > [an external CMS system through CMS Connect](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?language=en_US&id=communities_cms_connect.htm&type=5). 1.
