Our amazing title is pretty amazing, but one title does not a website make. Let's extend the schema a little, so we can get some more interesting content displayed.

1. Edit your config.ts file, and add a new field to your my_first_collection schema.

schema: {
    collections: [
      {
        name: "my_first_collection",
        label: "My first collection",
        path: "content/first",
        fields: [
          {
            type: "string",
            name: "title",
            label: "Title",
            isTitle: true,
            required: true,
          },
          // 👇 New field! 👇 
          {
            type: "string",
            name: "body",
            label: "Body",
            isBody: true, // <--- New property!
            required: true
          }
        ],
        ui: {
          router: ({ document }) => {
            if (document._sys.filename == "Hello-World") {
              return "/";
            }
          },
        },
      }
    ],
  },

2. Now, just to do something a little different, go ahead and edit your Hello-World.md file directly in your IDE.

3. Add some text to the body of the markdown file, like this:

---
title: Hello World! Look at my amazing title!
---

Look at my incredible body 🦙

The isBody property does what it says on the tin - it tells Tina that this property is the "body" of the markdown content (ie, not in front-matter).

4. Edit the awesome-content.tsx component so it renders out the body content:

"use client";
import { useTina } from "tinacms/dist/react";

export default function AwesomeContent({data}) {
  const pageData = useTina({
    data: data.data,
    query: data.query,
    variables: data.variables,
  });

  const amazingTitle = pageData.data.my_first_collection.title;
  const incredibleBody = pageData.data.my_first_collection.body;

  return (
    <>
    <h1>{amazingTitle}</h1>
    <p>{incredibleBody}</p>
    </>
  );
}

5. Start up your app, navigate to http://localhost:3000 and you will see your incredible body on screen.

What about editing? Well, try going to http://localhost:3000/admin/index.html and you'll see a new field has magically appeared in your visual editor. Hooray! 🙌 🎉
