What are collections?
A collection is like a folder; it groups related content but with front-end features designed for browsing, searching, and filtering.
Collections are ideal for:
newsrooms,
blogs or updates,
press releases,
resource libraries,
and case studies or publications
Unlike folders, collections don’t just organise content, they help users interact with and explore that content easily.
Key features of a collection
