How to Move Collection Items in Squarespace
Learn to move collection items between pages in Squarespace efficiently.
TL;DR: Key Points
- Move specific types of collection items within similar page types
- Categories get lost during product moves, though tags remain
- Entire pages can be moved via drag and drop in the Pages Panel
- Content movement across different types of pages or sites isn't possible
- Efficiently select and move multiple items using the Pages Panel
Moving Collection Items Between Similar Pages
In Squarespace, you can move collection items between pages of the same type. This means you can move blog posts from one blog page to another, or shift products between different shop pages.
What Happens to Tags and Categories
Products and videos moved between their respective pages will keep their tags, so searching and sorting continues to work. However, products lose their categories because categories are specific to each collection. Videos don't support tags at all.
Steps to Move Items
- Open the Pages Panel in your Squarespace workspace
- Go to the collection page containing the items you want to move
- For products or videos, select the category they belong to or choose 'All' to see everything
- Select items by ticking their checkbox (you can select multiple items or use 'Select All')
- Click 'Move...' at the bottom of the panel (this only appears if there's a compatible destination page)
- In the Select Destination Collection window, choose your target page
- Click 'Move items' to confirm
Moving Entire Pages
You can also reorganise your site's navigation by moving whole pages into different sections or dropdown menus.
How to Move Pages
Simply drag and drop the page from one place to another in the Pages Panel. This gives you complete flexibility over your navigation structure.
Pixelhaze Tip: Always check what type of page your content lives in before trying to move items. This prevents errors and saves you time restructuring later.
FAQs
Can I move items between different collection page types in Squarespace?

What happens to tags and categories when moving products?
Tags stay with the item, but categories are lost because they're tied to the original collection.
