Collections

How is it different from a page?

A page has a fixed layout: you change the text and photos on it. A collection grows: you add items, and your website puts them in the right place automatically, in the style of your website. A new post appears straight away in the news overview, and often on your homepage too. You do not have to lay out anything yourself.

Every item has its own form with the same fields, for example a product's name, photos, price and description. That way every item looks just as neat on your website. Many items also get a page of their own, such as a post, an event or a vacancy.

Where do you find your collections?

• In the menu on the left under Collections. You only see the collections your website has.
• On the Dashboard under Your collections: for each collection the number of items, what has not been published yet, and a button to add something straight away.

This is how every collection works

1. Open the collection and click the button to add an item.
2. Fill in the form and click Save draft. An orange dot means: not published yet.
3. Click Publish at the top right. The item is then on your website. See Saving, previewing and publishing.

Everything else works the same everywhere: the copy icon makes a copy of an item, tags let you group items, a deleted item stays in the trash for 30 days and you can restore an earlier version.

Which collections does your website have?

That depends on your subscription and your design: the design decides where and how the items appear on your website. Missing a collection, such as Events or Team? Contact Windkracht and we will look together at whether and how it fits your website.

Photo albums are a collection too. You will find the explanation under Photos and files: Creating a photo album.
