Some Terminology
WHAT ARE MODULES?
Modules are extra features that you can install to your CMS site. They are available to everyone, but need to be installed in order to use. Examples of the modules are available below.
MODULES VS. CHUNK
These two terms are often used when describing the features of the CMS. Modules are installed to the CMS, however, the content of the module is edited outside of the editor. A chunk refers to the buttons you see on the right-hand side.

Modules can be plural
You can install multiple instances of the same module. For example, you can have multiple accordion modules on different pages. This is also why it is helpful to provide an alias name when creating the module.
