Collections

Learn how to register a Collection extension, connect it to a Collection Repository, and configure Collection Views to display entity lists.

A Collection is an extension that fetches and exposes a list of entities in the Umbraco backoffice. It connects a Collection Repository, for fetching data, and one or more Collection Views (the display layer).

The Collection itself does not render anything. It manages pagination, filtering, and selection state — the Collection Views decide how items are presented.

How the parts relate

Part	Role
Collection	Registers the extension and points to a repository alias.
Collection Repository	Fetches and returns items.
Collection View	Bound to the collection via its alias; renders the items.
