Use the product catalog for browsing your published products. Create a collection when a smaller selection answers a particular need, such as choosing items for a daily feeding routine. Each collection is a normal page built from editable blocks, rather than a separate custom page implementation. Products are referenced, so you can reuse one product in several collections without copying its content.

Before starting, publish the products you want to use in the same site and language. You need permission to edit and publish the catalog, collection and their navigation links.

Publish the main product catalog

Open Products → Product catalog. Select the language, then write the catalog title, introduction, interface labels and SEO information.

Choose Save draft, inspect Preview, and select Publish when ready. Each language is configured and published separately; the catalog lists published products in that language. It does not translate products or combine all languages into one list.

Use Open live page to get the published URL. The default-language catalog normally uses /products; other languages have their own route. Copy the actual live URL instead of guessing a prefix. Add it to your site's header or footer and publish the navigation separately.

Create a collection page

Open Landing Pages and select New Landing Page. In Start with, choose Product collection. Fill in Title, URL Path, Language, and Collection introduction, then select Create Landing Page.

Use a path such as /collections/everyday-feeding. The preset starts with four ordinary blocks: PageHeader, ProductGrid, FeaturesText, and FAQ. You can edit, reorder, copy or remove these blocks using the page editor.

Write a compact heading and an original introduction that explains the selection. Use FeaturesText for useful selection guidance and FAQ for real questions. Complete new items with your own text, and remove blocks that do not help the visitor. A /collections/... page does not automatically create a /collections index.

Choose products and arrange their order

Edit ProductGrid. Set Products heading and, if useful, Products introduction (optional). Under Find products, search for an item and select Add. You can choose up to 24 distinct products from this site and language in each grid.

The selected list displays publication readiness. Use the earlier/later arrow buttons to arrange products and the remove button to remove a reference. Removing a reference does not delete the product. These controls can also be reached with the keyboard.

Choose Show full image or Fill the frame under Product image fit and review the link and unavailable-image labels. Select Save product grid. Save before reloading or closing the tab: unsaved inputs are retained while switching views in the current tab, not as a durable saved draft.

Save SEO and publish this page

Open SEO to edit Collection SEO. Review Page name, Page summary, Search title, Search description, Allow search engines to index this page, and the optional sharing image. Page name is metadata; update the PageHeader block separately if the visible page heading should change too.

Select Save SEO draft. These changes stay private until the page is published. The canonical URL follows the site's domain, page path and language; this editor does not accept an unrelated canonical URL override.

Choose Open authorized preview to inspect the saved page. Use Publish for the first publication, or Update after editing an already published page, and review the publication dialog. Publishing this collection publishes its saved page content and SEO. It does not publish product drafts or shared header/footer drafts.

If the header or footer has a separate draft, use Review navigation and inspect its affected pages before publishing it. Add the real collection URL to the appropriate navigation after the collection is live. Use View to open the published collection.

A focused collection combines a useful introduction with product links. These bowl concepts are demonstration content, not products for sale.

Maintain the selection

Cards use each product's current published title, excerpt, image and URL. An unpublished product edit stays private. After you publish the product update, collections use the new published information without copying it into every page.

An empty grid can be saved as a draft. Publishing a page with a manual product grid requires at least one product, and every selected product must be available for publication. If a selected product is later unpublished or archived, its public card is hidden while the selection is retained for you to repair. If none remain available, the grid is hidden; the rest of the authored page can remain visible. Review the collection's usefulness and index setting when its selection changes substantially.

Use Refresh publication status after changing a referenced product. Draft — publish before using means the target needs publication. Unavailable — review or remove means you should restore a valid target or remove the reference.

When a save conflict appears, preserve your work for comparison and review the current version. Do not discard another editor's change just to force a save. Discard unsaved changes explicitly replaces your local inputs with the current saved draft.

Test the visitor journey

Open the collection as a visitor. Follow each card to the intended product, select an option, open the inquiry form and submit fictional details. Confirm the message and product context in Form submissions. Check the same route at phone width and verify that all images and navigation links work.

Each collection should serve a distinct purpose with useful content. Publishing many near-identical pages is not a substitute for explaining the selection.
