Updated publishing behavior for collection items

Starting December 2024, Webflow is introducing an improved publishing workflow for collection items. When a live item’s isDraft property is set to true, the item will continue to remain published on the live site even after a full site publish. This allows users to make updates to the collection item in a draft state without changing what’s visible on the live site.

To remove an item from the live site, you must now explicitly call the unpublish endpoint. This change gives developers more precise control over the publishing state of individual items. Please see the “publishing items” section of the CMS guide for more details.

• Create CMS Item
  The default behavior of the createItem API is now to create a draft item. All new items will be created with the isDraft flag set to true.

• Publish CMS Item
  Due to changes in how publishing is handled, sites with multiple domains are no longer required to have their domains in sync when publishing a single CMS Item. Previously, users would receive a 409 error when attempting to publish a CMS item while the domains weren’t in sync. Users will no longer receive a 409 error when attempting to publish a CMS item.

We’ve updated the request body structure for updating content:

• Update page content
  To update a nested Component Instance within a Component, use the propertyOverrides property instead of using the properties property.
