Switch between CMS and Assets

Move between collection items and the site asset library
View as Markdown

Every site workspace has two sections: CMS for collection items, and Assets for the Webflow asset library. Use the switcher at the top of the left sidebar to move between them.

Assets workspace with CMS and Assets switcher

Switch sections

1

Open a site

From Your Webflow sites, click a site card. The workspace opens in CMS by default.

2

Click Assets or CMS

At the top of the sidebar, click Assets to open the asset library, or CMS to return to collections.

What changes when you switch

Switching does not close your place in CMS — when you return to CMS, your collection and items view are still there.

On a phone, open the sidebar with the toggle button, then tap CMS or Assets. See Use Wicked CMS on your phone.
