1. The group or collection name. You can switch from one group/collection to another using the left-hand tree view of all collections (#5 in the image). If the component above was assigned an image on the Structure tab, that image would also appear in this section. 
2. Variant selection options. Each variant combination presents different cells in the data table (#3 in the image) for those properties linked to the variants. In a collection with no variants, this section of the Content tab would be empty.
3. The data table. Text, media, and information like checkboxes and dates can be entered here manually or imported (#4 in the image).
4. Item addition options. Clicking "Add new item" will add a new item to the data table (i.e. a new row or column, depending on table orientation), with a unique Item ID. Clicking "Content Import/Export" will run the Import/Export function.
