### Can I have different content types like a FAQ and Knowledge Base in one application?

[](#can-i-have-different-content-types-like-a-faq-and-knowledge-base-in-one-application)

Yes. `semistatic` puts belonging content (directories) in a `shelf`. You can have a `FAQ` shelf and `Knowledge Base` shelf.

### How to mount different shelves below different routes?

Just add a new route to one of your Laravel controller actions. Then load the specific shelf in that action.
