Content folder

These folders are intended to contain your site pages.

Publishable: yes
Indexable: yes
Included in Stale Content report: yes

When created, these folders come with an empty subfolder named _blocks. This subfolder is a useful place to locate widget and layout assets.

Using the _blocks folder for your widgets and layouts is merely a suggestion. You can safely delete this folder if you choose to organize your assets some other way.

Internal Asset Folder

These folders are intended to contain assets used only within Cascade.

Publishable: no
Indexable: no
Included in Stale Content report: no

Publishable Asset Folder

These folders are intended to contain only non-page publishable assets, such as images and other files available on your website.

Publishable: yes
Indexable: no
Included in Stale Content report: no

Creating new folders

Select the desired folder type from the Add Content menu.

Check Spelling

Check this box if you want the folder content to be spell checked I guess. I dunno… my speling is purfect so I don’t really use this.

Folder name and placement

Standard Cascade stuff.

Title

This one’s important for content folders. This is how the folder will be presented in page breadcrumbs. Here you can apply a “human readable” name with proper capitalization, word spacing, etc.

You can safely ignore this field for internal asset and publishable asset folder types, since those don’t contain anything on which breadcrumbs would be displayed.
