CMS: Using Folders to Organize Collections

Use collection folders in the CMS (Content Management System) to organize your collections into groups. This organization helps you manage content across multiple collections, making it easier for you and your clients to find what you need. For partners working with clients, collection folders streamline the handover process, ensuring clients can quickly access the required collections without navigating through a long list.

Creating a collection folder

When you create a collection folder, you can choose a color and add an optional description.

To create a collection folder:

1. Go to CMS in your site's dashboard. Alternatively, you can click CMS

   

   in your editor, then click Your Collections.

2. Click the More Actions drop-down at the top right and select Create folder.

3. Enter the Folder name, select a Folder color and enter a Description (optional).

4. Click Create.

1. Add collections to your folder:

   1. Click the More Actions icon

      

      on the relevant collection.

   2. Select Move to folder.

      

   3. Click the folder that you want to move the collection to.

   4. Click Move Collection.

   5. Repeat these steps for each collection that you want to move to a folder.

Managing collection folders

You can manage your collection folders from your CMS dashboard. When you create a folder and move a collection into it, that collection no longer appears in the main table on the CMS dashboard. If you delete a collection folder, all collections stored in it return to the main table.

Tip:

You can move all types of collections into folders, including Wix app collections and external collections.

To manage your collection folder:

1. Go to CMS in your site's dashboard. Alternatively, you can click CMS

   

   in your editor, then click Your Collections.

2. Click the More Actions icon

   

   on the relevant folder.

3. Choose what you want to do:

   • Open folder: Open the folder to view its details and collections.

   • Edit folder: Change the folder's name, color, or description.

   • Delete folder: Permanently remove the folder. If it contains any collections, the collections are moved back to the main CMS home screen.
