    This is a question mainly to gather ideas about how other people do it. I have my way, but i think there may be some better ways.

    “Where do you allow entry of non channel type data by the clients/publishers?”

    Channels are excellent for streams of data, re-occurring or data that follows a pattern.

    What about content for short snippets of information and text that would not suit going into a channel?

    I will share what I do after some replies 😊

    Snippets?

    Or you could Low Variables?

    I’ll usually create a ‘miscellaneous’ channel and manage those pieces of content that way.

    Low Variables has easily been the best answer to this for me for quite some time.
