This article will explain how to add a new section
Sections allow you to add other types of content. You can call sections anything, but the most commonly created sections are 'blogs' and 'case studies' etc.
Adding a new section:

Change:
- The "Pagination size" to 10

Save the Section and you'll see it shown in the list.

Click on the edit button and go to the advanced settings. We need to attach the "Newsblog" application to this page and specify the new Section name:
Save the page and Publish the changes and Articles in the new Section will be listed here.
