## Overview

The Content Store Element Settings page allows you to manage metadata and organizational properties of a content store element.

These settings control visibility, lifecycle, ownership, and internal workflow status.

## Editable Settings

### Contributor Email

Defines the responsible author of the element.

The contributor and the owner do not need to be identical.

You can send a reminder email to the contributor.

The Settings page also displays system-generated information that cannot be modified.

This includes:

- **Content Store ID** – Automatically assigned unique identifier. The ID can be used to search for the element within the system.

- **Type** – The content type of the element.
- **Creation Date** – The date and time when the element was added.

These values are managed automatically by the system.
