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.
