Hi @webmasterID
Basically, both fields allow for ‘repeatable’ sets of data, however, the 2 interfaces are used for 2 different things:
Repeater
This is used for a simple table like interface whenre you define the columns and repeater the rows. A good use for this field is an image gallery
Flexible Content
This is used for more complex content / widget styled data. This field allows you to create multiple[le layouts and each layout contains different sub fields.
This allows the user to populate an area on the site with full control over the layouts and data. Very useful for flexible content solutions and even sidebar widgets!
