There could be several reasons why the Webflow editor appears blank when switching between collection items. Here are some possible issues and solutions:

Browser cache: Sometimes, the editor may not display the content properly due to browser cache issues. To resolve this, try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the editor page.
Corrupted collection item data: If there are any inconsistencies or corrupted data within a specific collection item, it can cause the editor to appear blank. In such cases, you can try recreating the affected collection item or reloading the collection data.
Incorrect visibility settings: Double-check the visibility settings of the elements within your collection item. If an element is set to be hidden or has a low opacity, it may appear as if the editor is blank when switching between items. Ensure that the necessary elements are set to be visible in the designer.
Interactions or animations conflicts: If you have complex interactions or animations applied to your collection items, it's possible that conflicts may occur when switching between items. Review your interactions and animations to ensure they are not causing any issues. You can disable them temporarily to test if they are causing the blank editor problem.
Scripting or custom code conflicts: Custom code or scripts can sometimes interfere with the Webflow editor, leading to blank screens. Check if you have any custom code running on your site and try disabling it temporarily to see if the issue is resolved.
Platform or network issues: Occasionally, the Webflow platform or your network connection can experience temporary glitches or connectivity problems, causing the editor to appear blank. In such cases, it's advisable to wait for a while and try again later.

If none of these solutions resolve the issue, it's recommended to reach out to Webflow support for further assistance. They will be able to help you troubleshoot and resolve any specific issues with the editor.
