Setting page metadata
The most important thing you should do is ensure you set page metadata like the page title. To do this, you can create custom fields for any attributes worth passing through to your pages
Creating custom fields
Most page models by default have a title field. To create your own, or make a new field for SEO metadata, head over to the /models page, select the relevent model (e.g. your page model) and create a new custom field for it. For this example we'll create a text field called title
Setting custom field values in content
When creating content instances for models with custom fields, you can add values for each field from the options tab. Fields marked as required must be filled in in order to publish the content
