To include list items in Webflow collections, you need to set up a collection list and bind it to your collection. Here's how you can do it:

1. Create a new collection or locate an existing one in your Webflow project's CMS panel.
2. Set up the fields you require for your list item. For example, if you're creating a list of products, you might have fields like "Name," "Description," "Image," etc.
3. Create a new webpage where you want to display the list items.
4. Drag and drop a Collection List component onto the page.
5. In the Collection List settings panel on the right, select your collection and choose how many items you want to show per page.
6. Within the Collection List, you can place elements and bind them to the corresponding fields from your collection. For instance, you might use a Text element to display the product name, an Image element to display the product image, and so on.
7. Customize the design of your list items using the Webflow Designer.

To change the pictures within the Lightbox using Webflow collections, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Add a Lightbox element to your webpage.
2. In the Lightbox settings panel, select the images you want to display initially or leave it empty.
3. Within the Lightbox, you can insert an Image element and bind it to an image field from your collection.
4. To connect the Image element to the collection, click on the Image element, go to the Settings panel on the right, and select the field from your collection that contains the image URL.
5. Repeat this process for each image you want to display in the Lightbox, binding them to the appropriate image fields in your collection.

To include maps and/or embedded code on Webflow CMS pages, you have a couple of options:

Maps:
1. Drag and drop the Google Maps element onto your webpage in the Webflow Designer.
2. In the Google Maps settings panel on the right, enter the desired address or coordinates.
3. Customize the design and zoom level as per your requirements.

Embedded Code:
1. In the Webflow Designer, add an Embed element to your webpage where you want to include the embedded code.
2. Double click on the Embed element to enter its settings.
3. Paste your desired embedded code (like an iframe) into the box provided.
4. Customize the design and dimensions of the embedded code as necessary.

SEO and OG (Open Graph) settings are crucial for optimizing your Webflow CMS pages for search engines and social media. Here's how they work:

SEO Settings:
1. Open your CMS collection and select the specific item or page you want to set SEO settings for.
2. In the right panel, go to the SEO tab.
3. Configure fields like page title, meta description, and URL slug to optimize the page for search engines.
4. You can also set custom Open Graph descriptions and images under the Social Sharing tab to control how your content appears on social media platforms.

OG Settings:
1. Set the default Open Graph settings for your entire website by going to Project Settings > SEO > Open Graph.
2. Here you can define default values for the Open Graph type, title, description, and image that will be used if a specific page doesn't have its own OG settings.
3. To specify custom OG settings for individual pages or collection items, follow the same steps as SEO settings, as mentioned above.

Make sure to follow best practices for SEO, such as using relevant keywords, creating unique and engaging meta descriptions, and optimizing your page URLs for better search engine visibility.
