Can I add sample content after installing?
Yes. The Home Dashboard has a Sample Data panel: install the Blog sample to see how articles, menus and modules work together.
What sample data is for
Sample data fills a fresh site with example articles, categories, menus and modules. It is a quick way to see how the pieces fit together, and you can delete it later.
Install it
- Log in to the administrator and open the Home Dashboard.
- In the Sample Data panel, click Install next to Blog Sample Data (or Multilingual Sample Data if you have installed at least two languages).
- Wait for the steps to finish, then view your site.
Good to know
- Install sample data only on a new or test site: it adds menus and modules to your template positions.
- On a finished site, unpublish the Sample Data panel; you won't need it.
