3 new features in the Webflow CMS

Webflow recently introduced three new features to make CMS collection management easier. These features save real time and help sharpen your SEO. Our Webflow agency has broken it all down for you. Check them out below

1. Nest collection pages inside folders

Before this update, all your collection pages sat one level below your root domain.

Ex: /guides/the-mini-excavator-guide

You can now define a parent folder in the settings to serve these pages at a URL one level deeper.

Ex: guides/mini-excavator/the-mini-excavator-guide

This new level of control is especially useful for fine-tuning your SEO.

2. Disable publishing for “Collection” pages

For every collection you create, Webflow generates a corresponding template page, and those pages get indexed as soon as a change is made.

Annoying, since we often use collections for filter systems and for categorizing our content.

But that era is over, because we can now disable publishing for those pages with a simple switch button.

3. Duplicate a CMS collection in one click

Finally, you can now duplicate an existing CMS collection structure instead of rebuilding it from scratch one by one.

Just open the settings for the collection you want to duplicate and click the "Duplicate collection" button at the top.

A serious time-saver.
