Netlify App

About the Netlify app

Using the sidebar

The Netlify app makes creating and updating content on your site easier. The app removes the need to navigate between platforms, giving editors full control of everything from previewing to deploying changes. Content writers and editors can trigger Netlify builds with one click in the sidebar.

See build status in real-time, track progress and view recent changes all from within Contentful.

Auto-deploy on publish/unpublish

When installing, developers and admins can also set the Netlify app to automatically deploy based on publishing/unpublishing specific content types and/or assets.
