Content plugins add structure and workflow to Payload CMS — nested docs and page trees, drafts with live preview, redirects and multi-tenant content. They turn a flat collection of documents into an organized, editorial-friendly site structure.

Common capabilities

  • Nested docs and page-tree hierarchy
  • Drafts, versions and live preview
  • Redirects and slug management
  • Breadcrumb and URL generation
  • Multi-tenant content separation
  • Localized content trees

Editorial workflow

Editors work in drafts with live preview, publish through versioned states, and rely on redirects so old URLs never 404. Layer SEO and search on top of the structure.

Pair with the editor, SEO, search and internationalization.
