Help › Site & domains › Collections

Collections in the sidebar lists each one with its number of items, where it is used, and whether its item pages are on. A collaborator needs the Pages permission to see it.

Plan limits

If a lower plan leaves you over the limit, the collections you have keep working, but you can't add more until you upgrade or remove some.

Create a collection

There are two ways to start.

From a section you already have. Open the ⋯ menu of a list section (cards, a pricing table, a gallery) and choose Turn into collection. Name the collection and press Turn into collection. The section's items move into the collection and the section stays linked to it. Tick Make a page for each… to give every item its own page right away. A section you just added has to be saved first; the dialog says Save the page first.

From scratch. In Collections, press New collection. Give it a Name, list its Fields and press Create collection. You can change the fields later.

Fields

The Fields tab holds what every item stores. Add field, rename, reorder or remove fields, then press Save changes. Existing items keep their values. A collection holds up to 40 fields.

Deleting a field first checks where it is used and tells you how many places will show nothing. Its values are removed from every item.

Items

The Items tab lists the items. Press Add item to open the item panel, then fill its fields. Search finds items by title, and Reorder lets you drag them (load all items first with Load more).

• An item you edit saves by itself; the panel shows Saving... and then Saved. If something can't be saved, it stays open with Discard changes and close as a way out.
• Status is Published or Hidden. A hidden item stays in the collection but is not shown to visitors.
• Changes go live when you publish. Press Publish in the top bar when you are ready.
• Delete item removes it from every page that shows it.

Show a collection on a page

1. Open a list section in the editor. In its settings, under Load from collection, choose a collection. Undo in the message reverses it.
2. The section now shows a Linked to bar with the collection's name and a Show menu.

The bar's Linked list options menu also holds:

• View options: Sort by, Show at most (0 shows every item, and a section draws up to 100), and Only show items where, with up to 5 filters such as Price is less than 50. To leave one item out of this section only, use Hide … here on its row.
• Edit field mapping: which collection field each part of the section shows. Parts left on Nothing keep their own values in this section.
• Open in Collections jumps to the collection.
• Unlink gives the section its own copy of the items. Later changes to the collection no longer show there. Save the page first.

Editing a linked section

You can edit items right on the page. The section says Edits change it everywhere, and it means it: the change goes to the collection, and every section showing that item follows.

• Edits to a linked list save by themselves as you type. You do not need to press Save for them, and visitors see them after your next Publish.
• Undo does not reach collection changes. When you step back to one, the editor stops and says Collection changes can't be undone here. Change the value back by hand.
• If an item changed somewhere else (another tab, a teammate or an AI assistant), the editor says so and offers Reload.
• A note such as This section shows 3 of 8 appears when the section shows only part of the collection. All items are listed so that you can edit them, and each carries a chip that says why it is not shown here.

Show one value anywhere

To show a single value in a heading or a button, such as one package's price, click Show a collection value here next to the field.

1. Choose the Collection and the Value.
2. Under Take it from, choose A specific item, The selected item or This item.
3. Press Done. In text fields you can also choose Insert into text, which places the value as a chip inside your wording.

Partials and starters do not keep these links: a section saved there holds its own copy.

Item pages

Turn on Give every item its own page in the Item pages tab. Each item then gets an address like /packages/item-name, all built from one page layout you design once.

1. Set the Address prefix, the part of the address before the item name. If you change it later, old addresses redirect automatically.
2. Press Edit the item page and design the layout in the editor. Item to preview at the top switches which item you see, and Add item adds one.
3. Publish.

Each item's own address comes from Address in the item panel; leave it empty to use the title.

In an item's panel, Search engines overrides these for one item: Page title, Description, Share image and Hide from search engines. Item pages go into your sitemap, except those hidden from search engines.

Item page layouts appear in Pages, and buttons and cards can link to them: in the link picker choose the page under Collection pages, then the Item.

Link to a selected item

A link to a page can carry an item with it, for example a Book this package button that opens the contact page with that package already picked.

1. In the link picker, choose the page and turn on Add the item to the link.
2. Under Which item, choose This item, a selected item or A specific item.
3. The dialog shows how the link will end.

A form or booking made on a page with a picked item records that item. You see it on the submission or booking, and in the emails about it.

Where a collection is used

The Used in tab lists the sections that show items, the text and images that read a field, and the links to an item, each with a link to its page. Needs your attention lists anything broken, such as a removed field or a hidden item.

Delete collection on the collection page deletes the collection, all of its items and its item page. Sections that show it keep what they show now as their own copy, which no longer updates. This can't be undone.
