Update Items

Components in Rich Text

Rich Text field values can contain Webflow component instances as <wf-component> markup — see Components in Rich Text for the markup grammar, how to find component and property IDs, and the write constraints.

Update a single item or multiple items in a Collection.

The limit for this endpoint is 100 items.

Localization Tip
Items will only be updated in the primary locale, unless a cmsLocaleId is included in the request.
Draft status behavior

isDraft: true doesn’t unpublish an item. The resulting status depends on whether the item has been published before:

  • Item that has never been published: the item gets a Draft status.
  • Already-published item: the item gets a Changes in draft status. The live item stays published, and your changes are held back until you publish them.

Setting isDraft: false queues the item to publish on the next site publish. To remove an item from the live site, use Unpublish Live Collection Items. For the full status mapping, see Publishing with the CMS API.
