Articles are independent units within a collection. For instance, each article is an item within a collection of blog posts. You can update the article SEO and add article names, categories, and the details necessary for the predesigned fields, assigned to the relevant collection. It also simplifies the creation of multiple articles by using the existing collection template, saving time and ensuring consistency throughout the collection.
Here you can:
