-## ModelMethods
-
-This class provides comprehensive content model management operations for Agility CMS. Content models define the structure and fields for content items, acting as templates that determine what data can be stored and how it's organized.
-
-**Important Notes:**
-- Content models define the schema for content items
-- Models contain field definitions that specify data types, validation rules, and UI controls
-- Changes to models may affect existing content items using those models
-- Models are used by containers to organize and validate content
-- Model reference names must be unique within the instance
-
-### Function List
-- [getContentModel](#getcontentmodel) - Retrieves a specific content model by ID
-- [getModelByReferenceName](#getmodelbyreferencename) - Retrieves a model by reference name
-- [getContentModules](#getcontentmodules) - Retrieves list of all content modules
-- [getPageModules](#getpagemodules) - Retrieves list of all page modules
-- [saveModel](#savemodel) - Creates or updates a content model
-- [deleteModel](#deletemodel) - Deletes a content model by ID
-

-    console.log(result); // "Model deleted successfully"
-} catch (error) {
-    if (error.message.includes('in use')) {
-        console.log('Cannot delete model: currently in use by content items or containers');
-        // Handle by removing dependencies first
-    } else {
-        console.error('Failed to delete model:', error.message);
-    }
-}
-
-// Safe model deletion with checks
-const safeDeleteModel = async (modelID) => {
-    try {
-        // Check if model is in use
-        const model = await apiClient.modelMethods.getModel(modelID, guid);
-        if (model.isInUse) {
-            console.log(`Cannot delete model "${model.displayName}": currently in use`);
-            return false;
-        }
-        
-        // Perform deletion
-        const result = await apiClient.modelMethods.deleteModel(modelID, guid);
-        console.log('Model deleted successfully');
-        return true;
-    } catch (error) {
-        console.error('Failed to delete model:', error.message);
-        return false;
-    }
-};
-
-// Bulk cleanup of unused models
-const cleanupUnusedModels = async () => {
-    const models = await apiClient.modelMethods.getModelList(guid);
-    const unusedModels = models.filter(m => !m.isInUse);
-    
-    console.log(`Found ${unusedModels.length} unused models`);
-    
-    for (const model of unusedModels) {
-        if (confirm(`Delete unused model "${model.displayName}"?`)) {
-            await safeDeleteModel(model.id);
-        }
-    }
-};
-```
-
-**Deletion Restrictions:**
-- Cannot delete a model that is currently in use by content items
-- Cannot delete a model that is assigned to containers
-- Cannot delete a model that is referenced by other models
-
-**Best Practices:**
-- Always check if a model is in use before attempting deletion
-- Consider archiving or renaming models instead of deleting them
-- Remove all dependencies (content items, containers) before deleting a model
-- Backup model definitions before deletion for potential restoration
-
-**Error Handling:**
-- Throws `Exception` when model not found
-- Throws `Exception` when model is in use and cannot be deleted
-- Throws `Exception` when insufficient permissions to delete models

+**Model Structure:**

+    referenceName: string;        // Unique identifier (required)
+    displayName: string;          // Human-readable name (required)
+    description?: string;         // Optional description
+    fields: ModelField[];         // Array of field definitions
+    isInUse?: boolean;           // Read-only property
+    createdDate?: string;        // Auto-generated
+    modifiedDate?: string;       // Auto-generated
+}
+
+interface ModelField {
+    name: string;                // Field name/identifier
+    label: string;               // Display label
+    type: string;                // Field type (text, number, etc.)
+    isRequired: boolean;         // Whether field is required
+    isHidden?: boolean;          // Whether field is hidden in UI
+    defaultValue?: any;          // Default value
+    helpText?: string;           // Help text for users
+    validation?: string;         // Validation rules
+    options?: any[];             // Options for dropdown/select fields

+**Error Handling:**
+- Throws `Exception` when validation fails (duplicate reference name, invalid field types, etc.)
+- Throws `Exception` when save operation fails
+
+### deleteModel
+
+Deletes a content model by its ID.
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
+|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
+| `modelID` | `number` | Yes | The model ID to delete |
+| `guid` | `string` | Yes | Current website GUID |
+
+**Returns:** `string` - Confirmation message of successful deletion
+
+**Usage Example:**
+```typescript
+try {
+    const result = await apiClient.modelMethods.deleteModel(123, guid);
+    console.log(result); // "Model deleted successfully"
+} catch (error) {
+    if (error.message.includes('in use')) {
+        console.log('Cannot delete model: currently in use by content items or containers');
+        // Handle by removing dependencies first
+    } else {
+        console.error('Failed to delete model:', error.message);
+    }
+}
+
+// Safe model deletion with checks
+const safeDeleteModel = async (modelID) => {
+    try {
+        // Check if model is in use
+        const model = await apiClient.modelMethods.getModel(modelID, guid);
+        if (model.isInUse) {
+            console.log(`Cannot delete model "${model.displayName}": currently in use`);
+            return false;
+        }
+        
+        // Perform deletion
+        const result = await apiClient.modelMethods.deleteModel(modelID, guid);
+        console.log('Model deleted successfully');
+        return true;
+    } catch (error) {
+        console.error('Failed to delete model:', error.message);
+        return false;
+    }
+};
+
+// Bulk cleanup of unused models
+const cleanupUnusedModels = async () => {
+    const models = await apiClient.modelMethods.getModelList(guid);
+    const unusedModels = models.filter(m => !m.isInUse);
+    
+    console.log(`Found ${unusedModels.length} unused models`);
+    
+    for (const model of unusedModels) {
+        if (confirm(`Delete unused model "${model.displayName}"?`)) {
+            await safeDeleteModel(model.id);
+        }
+    }
+};
+```
+
+**Deletion Restrictions:**
+- Cannot delete a model that is currently in use by content items
+- Cannot delete a model that is assigned to containers
+- Cannot delete a model that is referenced by other models
+
+**Best Practices:**
+- Always check if a model is in use before attempting deletion
+- Consider archiving or renaming models instead of deleting them
+- Remove all dependencies (content items, containers) before deleting a model
+- Backup model definitions before deletion for potential restoration
+
+**Error Handling:**
+- Throws `Exception` when model not found
+- Throws `Exception` when model is in use and cannot be deleted
+- Throws `Exception` when insufficient permissions to delete models
