What Are Content References In A CMS?
IntermediateQuick Answer
TL;DR
Content references in a CMS are links between documents that create relationships in your content model. For example, a blog post might reference an author document, a product page might reference a category, or a landing page might reference multiple testimonials. References keep content modular and reusable—instead of duplicating data, you point to a single source of truth. When the referenced content updates, every document that references it reflects the change.
