Chapter 4: An Overview of the Strapi Admin Panel
In this chapter, we will explore the admin panel of Strapi. Strapi's powerful admin Panel is where we create content-types and manage content, permissions, plugins, and more. It is where we will spend a significant proportion of our time as developers, and where other stakeholders such as content creators and editors will interact with the product. The admin panel is very user-friendly and easy to explore and navigate, so we don't want this chapter to be a comprehensive manual for the admin panel; rather, it's a collection of tips and clarifications for some of the concepts of the admin panel so that you can use it more effectively.
These are the topics we will cover in this chapter:
- Navigating around the admin panel
- Managing admin users
- Managing content effectively
- Using the Media Library and consuming media in API (short for application programming interface)
