Configuration
3 fields, 1 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
collection Plural API ID of the content type, as it appears in the URL, e.g. articles. Overrides the default content type on the connection. | string | No | — | — | articles |
document_id Identifier of the entry: its documentId on Strapi 5, or its numeric id on Strapi 4. | string | Yes | — | — | hgv1vny5cebq2l3czil1rpb3 |
locale Locale code to act in, e.g. fr. Leave empty for the default locale. | string | No | — | — | fr |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.

"collection": "articles",
"document_id": "hgv1vny5cebq2l3czil1rpb3",

}Output
One shape.
