Create a New Stack With Assets

A stack is a centralized repository that stores and manages content types, entries, and linked assets for a project. It provides a structured environment for teams to create, manage, and publish content across channels.

To create a new stack, log in to your Contentstack account and perform the steps given below:

1. Navigate to CMS through “App Switcher”.
2. Click + New Stack.
3. Select Create New.
4. Enter the required information:
   • Name (required)
   • Description (optional)
   • Master Language (required)

     Note: The master language cannot be changed after the stack is created.

5. Assets are stored in spaces, not directly within stacks. Choose how to link the stack to a space.
   • Create and Link a New Space:
     • A new space is created with the same name as the stack.
     • A default workspace (e.g., main) is created within the space.
     • The stack owner becomes the space owner.
     • The workspace is linked to the stack’s main branch.
   • Link an Existing Space: Disable the toggle, then select an existing space and workspace.
6. Click Create.

Once the stack is created:

• You are redirected to the newly created stack.
• The selected workspace is linked to the main branch.
• Assets from the linked workspace become immediately available in the stack.
• You can manage linked spaces from Settings > Assets Hub.
