What are Dynamic Elements?

A dynamic element displays content that changes. A static element displays content that doesn't change.

A dynamic element is also connected (or data bound) to content managed separately to your page. This means that it is linked to a collection.

Take, for example, a dynamic page for recipes. This could feature the main image of the dish, as well as text boxes for recipe name, ingredients and main text. These elements get connected to a collection. A picture of the chef and the name of the recipe site can be static, as they are the same on every page.

From basic elements like images, to complex elements like repeaters, you can connect all these to your collection content. This way, you know the content is safe in a separate environment to your design.
