To adjust the layout of your collection list items in Webflow and ensure that the rectangle heights match each other, regardless of the length of the description text, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the collection list wrapper element: Start by selecting the collection list wrapper element that contains your collection list items.

  2. Change the layout mode: In the Styles panel, change the layout mode to "Grid" by clicking on the "Display" dropdown and selecting "Grid". This will allow you to create a grid layout for your collection list items.

  3. Adjust the grid properties: After switching to the grid layout mode, you'll see the grid properties available in the Styles panel. You can adjust these properties to achieve the desired layout:

  • Set the "Grid Template Columns": This property defines the number and width of the columns in the grid. You can set the value to control the number of columns and their widths. For example, you can use "1fr" for equal-width columns or a specific measurement for fixed-width columns.

  • Set the "Grid Auto Rows": This property defines the height of the rows in the grid. By default, it is set to "auto", meaning that the row height adjusts based on the content. To make all the rows equal in height, set a specific measurement value that accommodates the tallest content within your collection list items.

  1. Style the collection list items: To ensure that the rectangle heights match each other, you need to apply styling to the collection list items themselves. Select the collection list item element and adjust its styling as required. You can add padding, margin, or specify a specific height to achieve the desired look.

  2. Test and optimize: Preview your changes to see if the rectangle heights now match each other. If the text within the description varies in length, ensure that the height adjustment you made accommodates the longest text without causing any overflow or cutting off content. You may need to revisit the grid properties or adjust the content within the collection list items to optimize the layout.

By following these steps, you can adjust the layout of your collection list items in Webflow to ensure that the rectangle heights match each other, regardless of the length of the description text.
