Yes, there is a solution to prevent changes made to one section of a collection template from applying to other pages in the collection template in Webflow. You can achieve this by utilizing conditional visibility settings.

Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open your collection template in the Webflow Designer.
  2. Identify the section that you want to modify or prevent changes from applying to other pages.
  3. Select the element within that section that you want to customize.
  4. In the right-hand panel, under the "Settings" tab, go to the "Visibility" section.
  5. Click on the "Add condition" button.
  6. Choose the condition that you want to apply to the element. For example, if you want the element to only appear on a specific page, select "Page". If you want it to appear based on a specific field value, select "Field".
  7. Set the condition according to your requirements. For example, if you selected "Page", choose the specific page(s) where you want the element to be visible. If you selected "Field", choose the field and set the value that will determine the visibility of the element.
  8. Repeat this process for any other elements within the section that you want to customize.
  9. Once you're done applying the conditions, publish your site to see the changes take effect.

By using conditional visibility settings, you can control which elements within a collection template are visible on different pages, allowing you to prevent changes from applying universally across all pages.

This solution allows you to have more control over the customization of individual sections within a collection template without affecting the rest of the template. It's especially useful when you want to create variations or personalized content on specific pages within a collection.
