Collection entries are the individual records within a collection. The fields and structure are defined by the collection template; here you maintain the actual content.

  • All groups / single group: Filter entries by collection group
  • Active entries / All entries: Show only published entries or all entries
  • Search: Full-text search across all entries
  • Move up / Move down: Change the order of the entries
