Yes, in Webflow, you can convert a collection page into a standard page and duplicate it. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Convert a collection page into a standard page:
  • Open the collection page in the Designer.
  • Select the Collection List element on the page.
  • In the right sidebar, under the "Settings" tab, click on the "Change Layout" button.
  • Click on the "Choose Standard Layout" option.
  • Now, all the dynamic content from the collection will be removed, and the page will behave like a regular static page.
  1. Duplicate a page:
  • In the Designer, select the page you want to duplicate from the pages panel on the left.

  • Right-click on the page name and select "Duplicate" from the menu.

  • A new page with the same content and structure as the original page will be created in the pages panel.

    Note: Duplicating a page will maintain the dynamic collection bindings on the duplicated page.

By converting a collection page into a standard page and duplicating it, you can easily create new pages based on existing designs and content, saving time and effort.

Example:

Let's say you have a blog collection with individual blog posts displayed on a collection page. You can convert this collection page into a standard page and duplicate it to create additional pages like an "About" or "Contact" page.

By doing this, you'll have consistent design elements and a similar layout across your website, making it easier to maintain and update in the future.

Benefits:

  • Saves time: Converting a collection page into a standard page allows you to reuse the existing layout and design, saving time on creating new pages from scratch.
  • Consistent design: By duplicating pages, you can maintain consistent design elements and layout throughout your website.
  • Easy maintenance: Since the duplicated pages retain the dynamic collection bindings, any updates you make to the original collection will automatically reflect on the duplicated pages as well.

Overall, converting and duplicating pages in Webflow provides flexibility and efficiency in building and managing your website.
