# Content Types
## Content Types allow you to define specific review and approval workflow steps for various types of content records. These workflows help automate periodic content reviews and ensure all applicable steps are completed before the content records are published. Workflows can contain one or many steps and should capture each level of review or approval required.
1\. To access Content Types navigate to Administration, Settings, then Content Settings. Then scroll down to Content Types.
2\. This section shows the Name (2), Workflow (3), and Total Items assigned to each workflow (4). Click the **+** (5) on the top right of the Content Types section to add a new workflow. Click on the Name of an existing workflow to edit it.
3. Enter the Name and Review Cycle (if your content type has a frequently used review cycle).
Click **+** to add as many workflow steps as necessary. Each step has several properties associated with it. You will need to:
- Enter a Step Name
- Choose Assignment Type
- Choose whether the record can be edited or published in the step (if publish is selected, all subsequent steps will become optional)
- Choose if the step requires approval
Repeat selections for every step in the workflow. Click SAVE.

#### **📋Tips:**
- Review cycles can be changed for individual records if needed, even if a default review cycle is selected.
- You can reorder workflow steps by dragging them to move them up or down in the list.
