Frequently asked questions
What specific topics are covered in this course?
• Connected Templates: Templates that dynamically populate content from the Content Library, saving time and reducing manual effort • Collections: How to structure and manage data collections that serve as the foundation for connected content • Dynamic Pages: How to automatically generate pages from collections, allowing for scalable content creation and consistent design • Filters: Understanding and applying both fixed and dynamic filters to control which data is displayedWhat's the difference between regular data and connected data?
Regular data is static content that lives directly inside your site and must be manually updated in each location where it appears. Connected data, on the other hand, is dynamic—it pulls content from a centralized data source (like the Content Library, internal collections, or external databases). When you update connected data at the source, those changes automatically reflect across your entire site, making it ideal for scaling website creation and reducing manual editing.What are collections and how do they work with dynamic pages?
Collections are structured data sources that store information in rows and columns, similar to a spreadsheet. Each row represents an item (like a product, team member, or blog post), and each column represents a field (like name, image, or description). Dynamic pages automatically generate unique URLs and content for each item in a collection, allowing you to create hundreds of personalized pages from a single template without building each page manually.What's the difference between fixed filters and dynamic filters?
Fixed filters allow you to control which collection records display on your site by applying specific rules that you set in the editor. They work on both static and dynamic pages and always show the same filtered content to all visitors. Dynamic filters, which only work on dynamic pages, automatically adjust what displays based on the content of the page itself. They connect data from two different collections to show only related content, making each dynamic page display contextually relevant information.What do I need to know before taking this course?
