Collections in Enhanced CMS Workspaces

A collection is a set of CMS content items. Collections keep content items grouped and ready to use in your channels. You can create collections right from your enhanced CMS workspace.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience
Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

Use collections to gather items for repeater displays like grids to use and reuse in any channel in the workspace. Collect a series of news items to scroll across the top of your site, gather product images for a seasonal promotion, or group related documents for your AI recommendation engine.

You can create two types of collections in enhanced CMS workspaces: manual and dynamic. Manual collections provide a curated, static grouping of up to 50 content items. To add new content to the collection, you edit the collection.

Dynamic collections are automatically created based on search results of content in a channel. To create dynamic collections, you define conditions, and then Salesforce searches channels connected to the workspace for content that meets the conditions. The collection results can include up to 250 content items, ordered by relevance. Collection results change as content that meets the defined conditions is added or removed.

Note
Note There are two ways to create collections of CMS content.
  • If you’re working with an enhanced LWR site, you can create manual or dynamic collections in the enhanced CMS workspace where your CMS content was authored or shared.
  • If you’re working with an Aura site, create manual or automatic collections from the Content Management area of the Experience Workspace. For more information, see Salesforce CMS Collections for Aura Sites.
  • Manage a Manual Collection
    Create manual collections that provide a curated, static grouping of up to 50 items of a single content type in enhanced CMS workspaces. To add new content to the static collection, edit the collection. You can publish, unpublish, and delete manual collections.
  • Manage a Dynamic Collection
    A dynamic collection continuously updates based on the conditions and available content in your channels. Tag your enhanced CMS content with taxonomy tags, and then define conditions that automatically add content items to the collection.
