What is the maximum number of nested collections that can be shown on a Webflow page?
TL;DR
- Webflow allows up to five nested collection lists per page, each containing up to 100 items, but only on collection pages.
- To bypass the limit, use workarounds like multiple pages, pagination, or custom embeds via the CMS API.
Webflow allows up to five nested collection lists per page, but with some important limitations.
1. Webflow's Nested Collection Limits
- Maximum of 5 nested collection lists per page.
- Each nested collection list is limited to 100 items (Webflow’s standard collection list limit).
- Available only in collection pages—nested collections cannot be used on static pages.
2. Workarounds for More Nesting
If you require more than five nested collections, consider these options:
- Use multiple pages: Break content across multiple collection template pages.
- Leverage pagination: Display a subset of nested items and allow users to navigate through them.
- Use custom embeds via the CMS API: If embedding dynamic data is necessary, Webflow’s API or third-party tools like Jetboost may help.
Summary
Webflow allows up to five nested collection lists per page, each displaying up to 100 items. If your design requires more, use workarounds like splitting content across multiple pages or using custom embeds.
