A content management system (CMS) is a software application that allows users to create, manage, and publish digital content, such as text, images, videos, and documents, without requiring specialized technical skills. It provides a graphical user interface that enables users to create and edit content, and also offers tools for organizing and categorizing content, as well as for controlling access and permissions. The CMS also typically handles the storage, retrieval, and presentation of content on websites or other digital platforms.
