### Entry Fields

The names and types of entry fields displayed will be determined by what [Fields](control-panel/field-manager/field-manager-settings.md) you have defined for this channel. If an entry field is set to be "hidden" by default, it will have to be expanded by clicking on the field name before content can be entered.
The names and types of entry custom fields displayed will be determined by what [Fields](/fieldtypes/overview.md) you have defined for this channel.

### Save Revision
If an entry field is set to be "hidden" by default, it will have to be expanded by clicking on the field name before content can be entered.

Allows the content editor to force a revision save.
The fields can be [conditionally hidden](control-panel/field-manager/conditional-fields.md).

### Submit
In order for the field to be available when publishing or editing an entry, it needs to be assigned to the channel the entry is in.

This can be done in two ways:
- assign custom field to a [Field Group](/control-panel/field-manager/field-manager-settings.md#createedit-field-group) which is associated to the Channel
- assign field directly to channel by editing [Channel preferences](control-panel/channels.md#fields-tab)

The Submit button allows you to save the entry and publish it to your site.
