How Do I Add a Collection in Squarespace?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:26 am

Squarespace is an all-in-one platform that gives you everything you need to create and manage your website. One of the first steps in creating a Squarespace website is to add a collection.

A collection is a group of pages, blog posts, products, or events that are displayed together on your site. You can think of a collection as a folder on your computer where you store related files.

There are four types of collections you can create on Squarespace:

  • Pages: A page is a static piece of content that doesn’t change. For example, an About page or a Contact page. You can add as many pages as you want to a collection.
  • Blog posts: A blog post is a piece of content that you publish and share with your audience.

    You can add blog posts to a collection, and they will be displayed in chronological order.

  • Products: A product is something that you sell on your website. You can add products to a collection, and they will be displayed in a grid or list layout.
  • Events: An event is something that you are hosting or attending. You can add events to a collection, and they will be displayed in a calendar view.

To add a collection to your Squarespace website, follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your Squarespace account.
  2. (Optional) Select the site you want to work with.
  1. >Click the Pages icon in the left sidebar.
  1. >Click the + icon next to Collections in the left sidebar.
  1. >Click the type of collection you want to create.: If you’re not sure which type of collection to choose, click More Information below each option for guidance.

That’s it! Your new collection has been created and added to your site.

Now you can start adding content to it.

          Adding a collection in Squarespace is simple and only takes a few steps. First, log into your account and navigate to the ‘Pages’ section. Then, click on the ‘+’ icon next to ‘Collections.’ From there, select the type of collection you would like to create.

          Once you have chosen, give your new collection a name and click ‘Create.’ That’s it! Your new collection has been added to your website.

          PRO TIP: If you are thinking about adding a collection in Squarespace, be aware that this could have unintended consequences. For example, if you add a collection of products and then later decide to remove that collection, any products that were in that collection will also be removed from your site. So, before adding a collection, be sure to weigh the pros and cons and decide if it’s really something you want to do.
