Duplicating a Webflow Collection Template While Keeping the Current One Live

At a glance

The community member has a general Webflow question about working on or duplicating a Webflow Collection template while keeping the current one live. They are currently hiding whole sections from users using Memberstack, but find this approach "very janky/risky".

In the comments, another community member suggests a workaround. They can duplicate the collection directly, or export all the data, create a new collection with default fields, import the data using CSV, and then use Finsweet's Unlink CMS feature to copy everything from the existing template page to a new template and link the required fields.

I have a general Webflow question. Is it possible to work on or duplicate a Webflow Collection template whilst still keeping the Current one live? At the moment I’m hiding whole sections from users using Memberstack but this feels very janky/risky.

You can duplicate directly but there is a work around where you can export all data and create a new collection with default fields and then Import the exported data using CSV and all the fields can then be created using that CSV.

Then for template page use Finsweet’s Unlink CMS feature and copy everything from existing template page to new template and then link the required fields
