how to connect a collection list in webflow cms
HeyBraza points at the collection list settings 'source' dropdown and each 'get text from' binding so your items actually pull dynamic data.
the webflow cms confuses beginners because you don't place items directly - you add a collection list, point it at a collection, then bind each element inside to a field. miss the binding step and you get repeated placeholder text. here's the full path.
short answer
drag in a 'collection list', set its source to your cms collection, then style one item - it repeats for every entry automatically. bind each text or image inside to a cms field via the settings gear rather than typing content.
or do it yourself
- 1drag a 'collection list' element onto your page from the add panel.
- 2double-click it (or open its settings) and under 'source' choose the cms collection you want to show.
- 3style one item inside the collection item - it repeats automatically for every entry.
- 4select a text element inside, open the settings gear, and under 'get text from' bind it to the matching cms field (title, summary, etc.).
- 5bind images the same way, then add filters or limits in the collection list settings if you only want some items.

downloadcommon questions
why does my webflow collection list show the same text repeated?
you placed the list but didn't bind the inner elements - select each text/image and use 'get text from' / 'get image from' to connect it to a cms field.
how do i show only some cms items in a collection list?
open the collection list settings and add a filter (by field value) or a limit, plus a sort order, under the source.
