Sections 

The left-side of the page contains a list of links to regions within the page that you're editing.   If you wanted to edit the "Related People" for this research article , clicking that link immediately brings you down to that portion of the page to change containing that information.   

Publishing tools

On the top-right of the page are your "workflow" buttons.  To make your edits visible to website visitors, click the green "Publish" button.  To save updates you have made to the page without making them public, click "Save as Draft".  

Title

The field at the top of every type of content in Sitefinity is the "Title" field.  Depending on which content you're editing determines what becomes of the information you enter here.  In the full content types (people, news & research articles, events, etc.), this becomes part of the page's URL (web address), and likely becomes main heading displayed on the page.  This title often is NOT displayed the same way for the smaller page elements (cards, spotlights, callouts, etc.).  In the smaller page elements, the title is extremely important when it comes to searching for content that you want to place on a page.
