The content app user interface consists of subapps, a workbench and an action bar. These reusable parts let you build content apps quickly.
What is a content app?
Subapps
A content app always has at least two subapps: browser and detail. A subapp is typically displayed to users as a tab.
Browser subapp
A browser subapp gives you a workbench that displays the content of a workspace. It can display the content in tree, list and thumbnail views. It also provides an action bar with action for managing the content items.
Detail subapp
A detail subapp provides an editor for editing the items.
