When you successfully done with 4.7.3 WordPress installation then you will see that default theme of WordPress Twenty Seventeen come with example content. It means by default you will see four pages, Homepage, about, blog and contact. All all these four section or pages contains demo content which can be considered as theme starter content to understand the flow and pages criteria.

This Add page option on the left mid side of the customize section, through which you can easily add new pages directly from here. After adding or creating pages from here WordPress automatically add the demo content inside those pages.
