Wix Vibe: Understanding Dynamic Content

Dynamic content is a powerful feature in Wix Vibe that lets your site display information that changes based on data, logic, user input, or app state. This means your site can show personalized or updated content without without manual edits.

For example, images pulled from a CMS (Content Management System) collection, user names after login, or style changes like dark mode are all dynamic content.

Wix Vibe generates dynamic designs in your editor and creates CMS collections in your site’s dashboard. These collections show the data connected to your site’s elements. You can modify the field structure of these collections by asking the AI chat or by manually adjusting the fields in your CMS collection.  

For each custom page collection, Wix Vibe also creates a CMS collection. These two collections sync automatically both ways, keeping your data consistent. You can modify the field structure of these collections by asking the AI chat or by manually adjusting the fields in your CMS collection.

Since dynamic content updates automatically from external sources or logic, you can’t edit it directly on the stage in edit mode. 

In edit mode, you can identify which elements are connected to dynamic data by hovering over them. Dynamic elements display a green Live data label, indicating that their content is linked to an external source such as a CMS collection. This helps you quickly see which parts of your site update automatically based on your data.  

When you update data in a CMS collection, you don’t need to republish your site. The new data appears automatically anywhere it’s displayed on your live site. Refresh the site preview in your editor to see your updates.  

CMS collections store their versions and backups separately from your main site versions. Restoring an earlier site version does not restore your CMS collections. To manage or restore previous collection data, use the CMS collection backup tools directly or ask the AI chat to restore data. After restoring, you can ask the AI chat to fix conflicts and reconnect site elements to your CMS collections or remove elements that are no longer relevant.  

Dynamic pages use a single design template connected to your CMS collection. Each item in the collection generates its own unique page with a consistent design and unique URL. This lets you efficiently manage large amounts of content while keeping a cohesive look and feel. Design changes apply to all connected pages, helping you maintain your site’s style.  

For example, a single product page design can generate unique pages for every product in your store; each showing specific product details like images, descriptions, and prices. This way, you don’t need to create separate pages manually for each product.
