content entities

In the previous post in this series, I described how we rebuilt our page templates with Layout Builder. I ended that post by mentioning that templates are less suitable when the page hierarchy must be derived from the data itself.

To explain that part of the rebuild, it helps to look at a more basic change. In the Drupal 7 site, an imported data object and the page that presented it were the same node, whereas the rebuilt site stores them as separate entities.
