Use dynamic or curated Collection lists to choose which Collection items to display.
In Webflow, you can choose between dynamic or curated Collection lists. Each type provides different options for choosing or managing which Collection items appear in your published Collection list.
Dynamic Collection lists
You can use dynamic Collection lists to display a dynamic set of Collection items — for example, a set of blog posts that updates whenever you publish a new blog post in the Collection. With dynamic Collection lists, you can also use filters, sort order, pagination, and display limits to manage which Collection items appear in your published Collection list and/or how many Collection items appear per page.
Collection lists are set to dynamic by default. To change a curated Collection list to a dynamic Collection list, go to Element settings > Collection list settings > Type and click Dynamic. Then, click Remove items to confirm that you’d like to remove the current curated Collection items.
Curated Collection lists
You can use curated Collection lists to display a static set of Collection items (i.e., a set of Collection items that won’t change unless you update the Collection list settings) — for example, a list of featured resources or products or customer testimonials.
To create a curated Collection list or change an existing dynamic Collection list to a curated Collection list, go to Element settings > Collection list settings > Type and click Selected. Then, to display specific Collection items in your Collection list, click Select items and check the checkbox next to each Collection item you want to include. You can also search for items by name and check their associated checkbox to include them in your curated Collection list.
Note
You can select any item in a Collection to appear in a curated Collection
list, regardless of its publishing status — however, depending on
its
publishing status,
the item may not render on the canvas. Only Collection items with
Published or Queued to Publish statuses appear on the canvas.
Once you’ve chosen the Collection items to display in your curated Collection list, you can drag and drop the selected Collection items into the order you want them to appear in the published Collection list.
You can also connect your curated Collection list settings to component properties to display unique content in an instance of a Collection list component.
