## The Content form

When creating or editing any *content* in GovCMS, you’ll use the **Content form**.

Each of the different **content types** mentioned in the previous page can have different custom areas depending on how a site is configured.

At the same time, there are many areas common to *all* content creation forms.

An overview of the **Page form** is shown below to highlight these common areas.

## Form elements description

The areas highlighted are:

1. **Title:** Type in your content’s title.
2. **Components:** Add Components to the page (Components are discussed in [**unit 12**](https://salsa-digital.gitbook.io/govcms-content-administration/unit-12-advanced-content-editing/using-components-for-rich-layout-options) of this manual)
3. **Save and Preview** buttons.
4. **Revision log message:** Leave some helpful text to explain your changes. This is not visible to the public.
5. **URL alias**: Expand this section to give the content a customized URL.

Notice that on the right-hand side there are also other fields - we’ll discuss these in different sections of this manual.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://salsa-digital.gitbook.io/govcms-content-administration/unit-2-more-about-govcms/overview-of-content-create-edit-form.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
