Yes, it is possible to create a collection page in Webflow with a unique section that differs from the dynamic content shared by all pages in the collection. Webflow provides a feature called "Collection Template" which allows you to design and customize the layout of your collection pages.

To create a unique section on a collection page in Webflow, follow these steps:

  1. Create a collection: First, you need to create a collection in the Webflow CMS. Go to the CMS tab in your project, click on "Add Collection" and define the fields for your collection.

  2. Design your collection template: In the Designer, go to the Pages panel and click on the collection page you want to customize. This will open the Collection Template editor.

  3. Customize the shared dynamic content: By default, the collection template will display the dynamic content shared by all pages in the collection. You can use dynamic elements like Collection List or Collection Item to display this content and style it according to your needs.

  4. Add a unique section: To add a unique section to your collection page, simply drag and drop elements from the elements panel onto the canvas. You can add text, images, videos, or any other elements available in Webflow.

  5. Style your unique section: Use the style options and settings in the right-side panel to customize the appearance of your unique section. You can change fonts, colors, spacing, and more to match your design requirements.

  6. Bind dynamic data (optional): If you want to display dynamic content in your unique section, you can bind it to a specific field from your collection. Simply select the element you want to bind, click on the "Add Field" button in the settings panel, and choose the relevant field from your collection.

  7. Repeat steps 4-6 for other collection pages (optional): If you want different unique sections on different collection pages, you can create multiple collection templates and customize them accordingly. Each template will serve as a unique layout for a specific collection page.

By following these steps, you can create a collection page in Webflow with a unique section that differs from the dynamic content shared by all pages in the collection. This allows you to have greater flexibility and customization options when designing your collection pages.
