Preview list of articles in Collection

We work with many different Collections on our frontpage, moving them to different places with Pagebuilder. This makes it hard to always know which Collection a story should be added to. If it was possible to see the stories contained within a Collection without having to open it we would save a lot of time.

    Got it, thanks!

    I'm going to leave this idea on the board so others can chime in. I'm curious to hear how this solution will work for other customers who need to quickly see which Collection to use.

    Either would be fine from our standpoint. /Jakob

    Hi Jakob,

    Your description is very helpful, thank you. Just to be clear: when you say "the title from the last few stories" do you mean the last stories that were added to the Collection, or just the top few stories?

    Lost a word there: "It would also be very helpful when adding a story to a Collection from Composer ..."

    Hello Stuart!

    I'm thinking that it would be enought to have the title from the last few stories, maybe three or four. Most of the time that would be enough information to know you are looking at the right Collection.


    It would also be very helpful adding a story to a Collection from Composer (I realize that list is a bit more compact, so it would be a bit harder to squeeze in - maybe a dropdown menu of some kind?). Haven't really missed it in Pagebuilder.

    Hi Jakob,

    Thank you for submitting this idea and for the screenshot, that helps. Would you give me a little more detail?

    In the image the fourth Collection has 15 stories. Are you hoping to see the titles for all 15 stories in the space you highlighted?

    From what other screen would would it be helpful to see the list of stories in a Collection? When you're editing a PageBuilder page or when you're updating a story?

    Collections often have over 100 stories in them so I'm hoping we can find a solution where we can accommodate them and still get you what you need.

    Thanks!
    Stuart
