# Index Your Content

The Content component data index contains document content, and field information for analysis and retrieval. Generally, you add data to Content by configuring one or more connectors to extract the data from a repository and send it to Content for indexing.

In this case, you set up your indexing pipeline to automatically collect, process, and index your content. For testing and setup, you might need to index content manually, by sending index actions directly to Content.

During indexing, Content analyzes the content and processes it according to your configuration.

This section contains the following topics:

- The Index Process. The order that Content performs the different processing steps during indexing.

- Memory Usage in the Content component. Details of the internal index and storage processes that Content uses, and how to optimize your usage.

- Databases. Use Content databases to define groupings of documents.

- Document Sections. Split documents up into sections to allow queries to return the most relevant sections.

- Index Maintenance. Back up and modify your index.

- Document Tracking. Track documents through the indexing process.
