Basic concepts
The page list
Opening a repository takes you to the Work tab where you see the page list. This is the main view for finding and opening pages. You can search, filter, or create new pages from here.
Pages
Pages are the main units of content in Prismic. Their structure is set by the content model, and you fill them with text, images, links, and other elements.
Slices
Slices are reusable sections like banners, galleries, or testimonials. They give flexibility to how a page is laid out.
Spaces
Spaces group related page types together, making large repositories easier to navigate.
Media Library
The Media Library stores all your images and files. You can upload new assets, reuse existing ones, and make edits like cropping or adding alt text.
Locales
Locales manage translations or regional variations of your content.
