Design one template for every entry page in a collection

Design the template

1. Open the collection and click the folder icon, Edit collection settings. The header reads "editing template".
2. Add sections from the section library, as you would on a page.
3. Select a section and click the database icon beside a field.
4. Click Select a source and pick an entry field, or type the field in Data source path, such as <%=title%>.
5. For a list, such as related posts, pick a Reference or Related list field.

Add your header, footer and other partials

Click Add a new section and open the partials tab, as on a page. Every entry page then shows them, and they update when you publish the partial.

Publish the template

1. Click publish. It shows only when the template has changes.
2. The confirm says how many entry pages will rebuild. Click Publish.

Live entry pages rebuild from their published content, so drafts stay drafts.

Limits

• The preview uses your most recently edited entry.
• Template edits save as a draft. Live entry pages change only when you publish the template.
• There's no button to throw away a template draft.
• Pixel can't edit templates.

What does "Failed to publish template" mean?

The publish didn't go through. Check your connection and try again. Offline, publish shows "Available when back online".
