Today, we announce the power to nest collection lists to display any referenced content.

Each Webflow collection is a simple database with the power to link to another through single or multi-reference fields. Consider how each blog post in a collection may reference an author, which is just an item in another collection.



Until now, displaying any reference in your design — like the author in our example — was limited to a collection template page, which of course, is the design of a single collection item. But what about displaying authors for a list of blog posts?

Nest associated categories, tags — or anything

With today’s release, you can now display up to five categories in a list of blog posts, or up to five image thumbnails in a list of products. Sure, those are common and useful examples, but you can create collections of anything. How about using nested collections to display whether or not each location in a list of Taco Bell restaurants has a drive-thru?



In a new Webflow University video, we teach you how to make use of nested collections to showcase specific location features of each Taco Bell location in a collection list.

The possibilities are infinite. We’ve compiled some examples of ‘parent’ and ‘child’ collections out in the wild.

Freshly adds badges that indicate dietary restrictions. The ‘parent’ collection is meals, and the ‘child’ collection is dietary restrictions.
