Collections

Collections are containers for logically grouping related content within an environment, and they define the root scope for GraphQL queries (with optional traversal via references and filters).

A collection in Umbraco Compose is a container for logically grouping related content. There may be one or more collections per environment. The content instances you ingest should be placed into an existing collection of your choice.

Collection Considerations

When designing your content architecture in Umbraco Compose, you should keep in mind some collection principles.

Requests to the GraphQL API will always target a single collection for the root content that they return. However, it is also possible to retrieve other content in a single query if it is referenced from an item in the target collection.

GraphQL queries will return all items in the target collection unless they are explicitly filtered out.
