CMS Index Variable

·

April 17, 2025

We’re excited to introduce a new Index variable for CMS lists, unlocking layout options that weren’t possible before. You can now make the first card span two rows or two columns in a grid for a more dynamic look. This addition also enables conditional Component Variants based on item position, letting you alternate between left and right-aligned cards, or switch between filled and non-filled backgrounds. Lastly, this update gives you precise control over layout details, like showing dividers only between items. Check out the example site showed in the video, and remix it to take a look at its setup. This release also includes fixes, improvements, and other additions.
