An admin panel is one of the most important parts of a content management system. It allows editors and administrators to manage the content displayed on the public website.

CRUD stands for Create, Read, Update and Delete. Blog posts, categories, comments and users usually require these operations. In real projects, however, deleting records physically is often risky.

Soft delete is a safer approach. Instead of removing the record from the database, an IsDeleted field is marked as true. This protects data from accidental loss and allows recovery if needed.

A clean admin panel should use ViewModels, validation, reusable edit forms and returnUrl patterns. These practices improve both code quality and user experience.
