What is the maximum number of nested collections that can be shown on a Webflow page?

TL;DR
  • Webflow allows up to 5 levels of nested collection lists per page in the Designer.
  • To exceed this limit, you must use custom code or Webflow’s CMS API.

Webflow allows a maximum of 5 levels of nested collection lists on a single page using its native design tools.

1. Nested Collection Limit in Webflow

  • The official limit is 5 nested collection list wrappers (also known as “Collection Lists inside Collection Lists”) on a static or CMS page.
  • This means you can nest up to 5 levels deep, such as: Collection A → Collection B → Collection C → Collection D → Collection E.

2. Practical Notes

  • This limit only applies to nesting inside the Webflow Designer’s visual Collection Lists.
  • You can still display related or referenced content using multi-reference fields or single reference fields, but you’ll still be bound by the 5-level viewable structure.
  • Going beyond the limit would require custom code or using Webflow’s CMS API to render outside of the Designer’s built-in capabilities.

Summary

Webflow supports up to 5 levels of nested collections per page in the Designer. To go deeper or bypass limitations, you'll need to use custom code or external logic.
