What should I do if I am having trouble updating my case studies in Webflow using a template that is designed with CMS?

TL;DR
  • Check the CMS Collection to ensure required fields exist.
  • Edit or create a Case Study entry, fill in all fields, and publish.
  • Verify the Case Study Template Page has correct CMS bindings.
  • Check Collection List settings for proper CMS source and filters.
  • Republish the site and refresh to see updates.
  • Confirm you have the right permissions and haven’t hit plan limits.

If you're having trouble updating your case studies in Webflow using a CMS-powered template, follow these steps to ensure everything is set up correctly.

1. Check the CMS Collection

  • Go to CMS Collections in Webflow’s Designer panel.
  • Find the Case Studies collection and open it.
  • Ensure that the correct fields (e.g., title, images, project details) exist. If any required fields are missing, updates may not work correctly.

2. Edit Case Study Items

  • Click into an existing Case Study entry or create a New Collection Item.
  • Fill out the required fields and double-check that there are no missing or incorrectly formatted entries.
  • Click Save or Publish to apply the updates.

3. Check Template Linkage

  • Navigate to Pages and locate the Case Study Template Page (Typically named something like [name]-template).
  • Make sure that dynamic content bindings (like text, images, and links) are pulling from the correct CMS fields.
  • If any element appears broken or missing, re-bind it to the correct CMS field using the Element Settings Panel (gear icon).

4. Verify Collection List Settings

  • If case studies are displayed through a Collection List, select the list container, then check the Settings Panel (gear icon).
  • Confirm that the Correct CMS Collection (Case Studies) is selected.
  • Adjust Filters and Sorting Options if necessary—incorrect filters can prevent some case studies from appearing.

5. Republish Your Site

  • Click the Publish button and choose your Webflow domain or custom domain.
  • Refresh the live site to see if the updates now appear.

6. Check Permissions and Plan Limits

  • If using Webflow Editor, ensure you have the right permissions to edit CMS content.
  • If your project is on a Free Plan, check whether you've reached any CMS limits, as higher-tier plans may be required for more items.

Summary

Ensure your CMS Collection is correctly set up, check that case studies are properly linked to the template, and troubleshoot any Collection List filters. If changes still don’t reflect, republish your site and verify your plan limitations.
