Collection Details

  • Name: A human-readable name for the collection (e.g., "Blog Posts", "Product Catalog").
  • Slug: A URL-friendly version of the name, used in the API. This is generated automatically from the name but can be customized.

Collection Type

  • Multiple Entries: The standard collection type, designed to hold many entries (e.g., a list of blog posts or products).
  • Single Entry: A special type of collection that holds only one entry. This is perfect for managing one-off pages like a "Homepage" or an "About Us" page where you only need a single, editable record.

Creating from a Template

You can also kickstart a new collection using a pre-defined template.

  1. Click the "Template" dropdown.
  2. Select one of the available collection templates from the list. This will pre-fill the name and add a set of relevant fields to your new collection automatically.

Note

Leave the template blank to create a new collection from scratch.

After configuring your collection, click Create Collection. You will be taken to the collection's content page, where you can begin adding content.
