There could be a few reasons why your CMS collections are disappearing in Webflow. Here are some possible causes and how you can resolve them:
1. Permissions Issue: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to view and access the CMS collections. Check if the CMS collections are set to be visible to the right user roles. In Webflow, you can configure permissions for each collection specifically.
2. Filtering or Sorting: Check if you have applied any filters or sorting options that may be hiding the CMS collections. In the Webflow Editor, you can adjust the filter and sorting settings to ensure that the desired content is displayed.
3. Conditional Visibility: If you have set up conditional visibility on elements within your CMS collections, make sure that the conditions are still met. If the conditions are not fulfilled, the elements may not be visible.
4. Collection Settings: Verify if you have accidentally archived or deleted the CMS collections. In the Webflow Dashboard, navigate to the Collection Settings and check if the collections are still active. If they are archived or deleted, you can restore them from the Archive tab.
5. Backend Issue: Occasionally, Webflow may experience temporary backend issues that can cause CMS collections to appear as missing. In such cases, it's best to check the Webflow status page or reach out to Webflow support for assistance. They can help investigate and resolve any technical issues that may be causing the problem.
If none of the above solutions work, it might be helpful to provide more specific details about your situation. This can include screenshots, the names of the collections that are disappearing, and any relevant settings or actions you've taken. With this information, it will be easier to pinpoint the exact cause and provide a more tailored solution to resolve the issue.
