To get the content from the CMS to show up in an empty page in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a Collection: In your Webflow project, navigate to the CMS tab and click on "Collections". Create a new collection and define the fields to match the content you want to display on the page. For example, if you want to display a list of blog posts, create fields like "Title", "Date", "Author", and "Content".

  2. Create a Collection Template Page: Go to the Pages panel and click on "Add new Page". Choose the "Collection Template" option, and select the collection you created in the previous step. This will create a template page that will be used to display the content from the CMS.

  3. Design the Template Page: Once the template page is created, you can start designing it using the Webflow Designer. Add elements to the page and connect them to the collection fields by selecting the corresponding field from the dynamic data panel.

  4. Style the Template Page: Use the Webflow Designer to style the elements on the template page, customize the layout, and apply any desired interactions or animations.

  5. Publish the Site: Once you are done designing and styling the template page, you can publish the site to make the content from the CMS visible on the live site. Any changes made to the content through the CMS will automatically update on the published site.

By following these steps, you can easily get the content from the CMS to show up in an empty page in Webflow.
