To create a Collection List in Webflow without having Automatic Pages created for each collection item, you can follow these steps:

Start by designing your Collection Template Page:

Go to your Webflow dashboard and select the corresponding project.
Navigate to the "CMS" tab and click on "Collection Templates."
Create a new Collection Template or select an existing one.
Design your Collection Template page layout using the Webflow Designer. This layout will be used as a template for all collection items.

Add a Collection List to your page:

Open the Collection Template Page in the Webflow Designer.
Drag and drop a Collection List element onto the page from the "Add" panel on the left side.
Set up the Collection List element by connecting it to the desired Collection and configuring the layout options.

Customize the Collection List design:

Style the Collection List element to match your design preferences using the Webflow Designer.
You can customize elements inside the Collection List, such as individual collection item cards, text blocks, images, etc.

Populate the Collection List with content:

Preview your Collection List by switching to the "Live Preview" mode or publishing your website.
Add collection items through the Webflow CMS. Each collection item will populate the Collection List on the Collection Template Page.

By following these steps, you can create a Collection List in Webflow without Automatic Pages generated for each collection item. This allows you to display and design collection items within a single page, providing flexibility and control over the presentation of your collection content.
