3. **Understanding the Content and Media Tabs**: The first tab, 'Content', includes rows with sample information related to content such as title, description, address, latitude, longitude, and other fields related to the content type. Each individual content (such as a product, project, or FAQ, etc) is described within its own unique row. The second tab, 'Media', is where you attach images to the content. Each content has a unique ID, which should correspond to a row in the Media sheet.
