Collection Overflow

What happens when collection content does not fit the collection box.

Where to find it
Labelled Overflow in the Collection Settings drawer (gear in the collection header).
Per device
Yes — you can set one value for every screen, or separate values for phone, tablet, and desktop.
Underlying CSS
overflow

In plain English

Overflow decides whether overflowing content is visible, clipped, or scrollable on both axes for the whole collection.

When you would use it

  • A fixed- or max-height collection should scroll or clip instead of spilling onto the parent.

How to change it

  1. Open Collection Settings, then "Overflow".
One value, or one per device? Every input in this setting sits under a “Same value for all resolutions” checkbox. Leave it checked for a single value everywhere, or uncheck it to give phones, tablets, and desktops their own. How per-device values work.

Watch out for

  • This setting is left out on the editing canvas so the drag-and-drop surface stays full size. Open Preview to see it applied.
  • If Overflow X or Overflow Y is also set, the browser cascade decides the effective value.
