Open `CMS` from Plato Console when you want to manage custom content tables and entries.

## Main Areas

The CMS sidebar has these areas:

* `Dashboard` shows the tables grouped by folder, plus shortcuts for developer tools and database management.
* Table links open the entries for that table.
* Folder links group related tables in the sidebar.
* `Databases` opens the table and folder management page.
* `Developer` opens generated schemas, API client code, and API examples.
* `Permissions` is visible but not active yet.

## Open A Table

1. Open `CMS` from the Console.
2. Choose a table from the sidebar or the Dashboard.
3. Review the entry list.
4. Use `Add Entry` to create content.
5. Use the row menu when you need details, edit, or delete actions.

## Manage Tables

Use `Databases` when you need to create folders, create databases, edit table settings, open entries, edit schema, or delete a database.

Use the table row menu for table-level actions. The `Edit Schema` action opens the field builder for that table.

## Leave CMS

Click `Leave App` in the sidebar to return to the root Console pages.
