For partners working with clients, using collection folders improves the handover process. You have a tool to organize collections in a way that makes it easy for clients to find the required collection. This way, they don't have to navigate a long list of collections.

Managing your collection folder

You can manage your collection folders from the CMS home screen. When you create a folder, and move a collection into it, your collection no longer appears on the CMS home screen.
In the same way, when you delete a collection folder, all the collections stored in it appear on the CMS home screen.
Note:
All types of collections can be moved into folders, including Wix app collections, and external collections.

To manage your collection folder:

  1. Go to CMS in your Editor:
    • Wix Editor: Click CMS  on the left side of the Editor.
    • Editor X: Click CMS  at the top of Editor X.
  2. Click Collections.
  3. Click the Settings icon .
  4. Click View all Collections.
  5. Click the More Actions icon  on the folder you want to manage and choose an option: Open folder, Edit folder, or Delete folder.
