A collection holds content of one kind, like your services, your FAQs or your team. Each entry in it is an item. Your website reads some collections on its own, and you can show any other one with a few clicks. Open Content in the sidebar. Your collections are on the left under Content. If you have a Sapt website, two are already there, Pages and Website layout. Your website keeps its pages and shared layout in them.

Field types

​
Change a collection

Click the sliders icon next to the New button in a collection, or open Content settings under Library. Content settings lists every collection with how many fields it has. In a collection’s settings you can change its name, description and fields. Click Save changes when you are done, or Discard changes to undo. The Internal name under Advanced cannot be changed once the collection exists.

​
Related content

Related content connects two collections, like a service and its FAQs. Each item then has a place to pick the items that go with it.
  1. Open the collection’s settings and find Related content.
  2. Click Add connection.
  3. Under Connect to, pick the other collection. Name each side, choose whether one item can link to many, and click Create connection.
On each item, the connection shows under References. Click Choose item to pick one.

​
Archive or delete

  • Archive a collection you do not use now. Set the menu at the top right of its settings from Active to Archived and click Save changes. It leaves the list on the left, stays in Content settings, and you can set it back to Active anytime.
  • Delete works only on an empty collection. While it still has items, the Delete button stays greyed out: archive it instead, or delete its items first. Deleting cannot be undone.
