+# Updateable
+
+This example shows how to enable outside clients to update content to your CMS.
+All content submitted must be done through a POST request encoded as `multipart/form-data`
+to the API endpoint `/api/content/update?type=<Type>&id=<id>`
+
+## Song example
+Imagine an app that lets users add Spotify music to a global playlist, and you need them
+to supply songs in the format:
+```go
+type Song struct {
+ item.Item
+
+ Title string `json:"title"`
+ Artist string `json:"artist"`
+ Rating int `json:"rating"`
+ Opinion string `json:"opinion"`
+ SpotifyURL string `json:"spotify_url"`
+}
+```
+
+See the file `content/song.go` and read the comments to understand the various
+methods needed to satisfy required interfaces for this kind of activity.
+
+### Overview
+1. Implement `api.Updateable` with the `AcceptUpdate(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)` method to allow outside POST requests.
+2. Consistent with the externalable example, authentication can be validated in `BeforeAcceptUdate(http.ResponseWriter, *http.Request)`
+
+There are various validation and request checks shown in this example as well.
+Please feel free to modify and submit a PR for updates or bug fixes!
