Secure your Account

Sign up for your Contentstack account to start with your digital content management experience. The standard process of signing up is with your name and email address. If your organization has an SSO set up, you can also sign up via SSO. To improve account security and reduce the chance of unauthorized access, you can set up two-factor authentication (2FA) or single sign-on (SSO).

Invite your Team

Start collaborating and working in a stack by inviting your team members. In Contentstack, "users" refers to all member accounts in a stack. Instead of granting access to each user individually, Contentstack makes use of roles to grant permissions to a group of users.

Migrate your Content

Content migration is the process of transferring content from one CMS to another. You must first export the content from your current CMS and then import it into Contentstack.
