When using Webflow's CMS (Content Management System), you have the ability to create collection pages where you can display multiple items from a collection. However, there might be instances when you want to display individual content from a collection on a specific page. Here's how you can implement individual content into a collection page in Webflow:

  1. Create a Collection: Before you can add individual content, you need to first create a collection and define the fields for each item. This can be done in the CMS Collections panel.

  2. Add Collection Items: Once the collection is created, you can add individual items to it. Each item will have its own set of fields where you can input its content.

  3. Create a Collection Page: Now, create a collection page where you want to display individual content. This can be done by adding a new page and selecting the desired collection under the "CMS Template" section in the right-hand panel.

  4. Set Up Dynamic Content: In the collection page, you can use dynamic content to display the individual items. Here's how you can do it for a single item:

  • Drag and drop a collection item from the Add Panel into the page structure.
  • In the collection item settings, select the desired collection from the dropdown.
  • Choose the specific item you want to display by setting a filter (e.g., a specific category or slug).
  • Customize the layout and design of the individual item using the available options.
  1. Add Content Fields: Within the collection item, you can add different fields from your collection to display the individual content. This can be done by dragging and dropping the fields from the Collection Item Settings panel into the collection item structure. You can choose fields like text, image, rich text, etc.

  2. Style and Design: Customize the style and design of the individual content as per your requirements. Use Webflow's design tools, such as the Style Manager, to control the appearance of the elements within the collection item.

  3. Repeat Steps 4-6: If you want to display multiple individual content items on the same page, you can repeat steps 4 to 6 to add more collection items to the page.

By following these steps, you can easily implement individual content from a collection into a collection page in Webflow. This allows you to create dynamic and personalized pages using the CMS.
