How to add a Collection

Why you should understand and use Collections

A very simple website often consists of a few pages with some text and images. What if you want to add a blog or a podcast? Collections do exactly that. A Collection displays a list of content in Roe such as a list of blog posts or podcast episodes. Collections allow you to add these lists anywhere in your site.

Add a Collection

1. In the editor, click the COLLECTION button and you’ll see a form.
2. Add All posts to the heading section and click INSERT.
3. You will see a block like this:

       ```collection
       heading: All posts
       source: posts
       post_type: all
       template: list
       limit: 5
       ```
       

   • This Collection shows your posts under the heading All posts.
4. Check the preview and you’ll see a list of all the posts you have. Right now it’s probably just the welcome post, unless you created your own.
5. In the collection, change template: list to template: compact and check the preview to see how it changes what the collection renders.
6. Let’s create a new post in the next tutorial and you’ll see it show up in this Collection.
