Does Webflow have a function to randomly cycle different content for a section on each generated CMS page?

Yes, Webflow provides a function called "Randomize" that allows you to cycle different content for a section on each generated CMS page. This feature is particularly useful when you want to display random testimonials, quotes, or images on your website.

To achieve this, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a Collection in the Webflow CMS: Start by creating a Collection that will hold the multiple items you want to display randomly. For example, if you want to display testimonials, create a Testimonials Collection with fields like "Name," "Quote," and "Image."

2. Add content to the Collection: Populate your Testimonials Collection by adding different testimonials with their respective names, quotes, and images. Ensure you have at least a few items in the Collection for the randomization to work effectively.

3. Design your CMS Page: Create a CMS page where you want to display the random content section. Add a Collection List element to the page and connect it to the Testimonials Collection.

4. Enable Randomization: Select the Collection List element, and in the settings panel on the right, find the "Sort Order" dropdown. Change the default sort order to "Random."

5. Style and design the Collection List: Customize the appearance of the Collection List to match your design preferences using Webflow's visual designer. You can define how each item in the list should be displayed, including the name, quote, and image.

6. Preview and Publish: Preview the CMS page to see the randomized content in action. Each time the page is generated or refreshed, the Collection List will randomly display different items from the Testimonials Collection.

By utilizing the Randomize function in Webflow, you can create dynamic and engaging sections that display different content every time a CMS page is generated. This feature adds an element of surprise and variety to your website, enhancing the user experience.
