Page types
A page type in Studio is a content type which defines a custom field structure for a web page or any other composition of content. Some typical examples for page types are "Landing page", "Homepage", "Product page" or "Blog post". A page type typically has fields for page-specific content and settings (such as a slug or SEO metadata).

Use reference fields or Rich text links to page type entries to add links to other pages. This will make it easier to resolve and render the links in the frontend application as the linked entry will contain all the information that is required to generate a URL (title, slug, page type).
