Managing Files

In dotCMS, files are treated as content and are dependent on content types. By creating files, we are actually creating new pieces of content, allowing for customization of fields. Images are considered files and have specific fields like title, file name, and tags. Understanding the difference between file and image content types is crucial for proper organization. Dot assets are similar to files but offer different advantages. It's important to choose the appropriate content type when creating files. Knowing how files are structured in dotCMS helps in efficient management and organization of content.
