# Craft CMS Operations > Facts verified as of 2026-07. Authoritative reference for **Craft CMS 5.x** development: content modeling, Twig templating, element-query optimization, GraphQL/headless setups, plugin development, and the Craft 4 → 5 migration.

Nesting supported natively | | **Project Config** | Version-controlled schema (`config/project/`) | So...
