Create Article-Style Content with Posts and Posts Lists

Swift now offers a streamlined way to structure and present article-style content using Posts and Posts Lists.

This feature allows editors to build flexible, visually engaging overviews — ideal for blogs, news sections, announcements, and other post-based content — using two methods tailored to different technical needs:

You can display lists of pages as posts using:

• Post List Paragraph – an intuitive, editor-friendly approach
• Query Publisher – a more advanced, query-based method for developers

Method 1: Post List Paragraph

Designed for editors who prefer a visual, no-code experience, the Post List Paragraph makes it easy to display posts by selecting a layout and (optionally) a parent source page.

Key Benefits:

• Intuitive paragraph editor interface
• No coding required
• Layout-driven and flexible
• Ideal for landing pages, front pages, or section overviews

Method 2: Query Publisher (Advanced)

For greater flexibility, the Query Publisher app lets developers filter and display posts using a query-based setup.

Use Cases:

• Advanced filtering or dynamic list generation
• Full control over layout via templates

Categorize Your Posts

You can organize posts into categories using Swift’s folder structure. This makes it easy to manage and present content grouped by topic or section — useful for filtering and visual grouping in post overviews.
