    Content model
    Traditionally, headless is primarily used for content. It can be a website, a mobile app, or even printed materials. It can be public texts, internal memos, or even UI copy for apps or games. Sometimes, though, you might need to have configuration schemes editable easily by business people.

    Create build manifests for app development

    The settings stored in the build manifests tell the app which features are enabled for which version of the app. This way, enabling or disabling features and having a scheduled roll-out of different functionality is accessible. When modeling your content, create a content type with required elements, such as multiple choice or number elements, and then use Deliver API in your app to verify whether a feature is enabled.

    Create an interface for regression tests

    Kontent.ai has been used to create a simple-to-use setting interface for regression tests. These settings can include options such as which websites or pages to test, whether to ignore certain pages, or whether to ignore color differences. Instead of hard-coding these settings into the tests themselves or having a TXT/XML configuration file, you can have a fully-versioned setting dialog with a workflow to drive your internal processes.
