You can now group your collections inside a Category in Explore. Instead of one long, flat list of collections, you can bundle related ones under a single heading. Your clients can browse your content more easily, and you can keep your library tidy.
Nested collections are available across Workouts, Nutrition and Resources.
What are nested collections?
Until now, collections in Explore sat in one flat list. With nested collections, you can place collections inside another section, which creates a parent and child structure. The parent is called a Category, and the collections inside it are called sub-collections.
Think of it like folders. A category is the folder, and the sub-collections are the collections stored inside it. For example, a category called “Trending” can hold sub-collections such as “Train by Concern” and “Train by Target Area”. Your clients open the category first, then pick the sub-collection they want.
A category can be displayed as photo tiles or as tags, depending on the layout you choose.
What’s new
Categories (nested collections): Group related collections under one category. The collections inside it are called sub-collections, and your clients can browse them from a single place.
Flexible layouts: Choose from Square, Wide, Tall, Circular or Tags. You can also set the tile size and text placement, or turn on a custom layout.
Easy sub-collection selection: Search your existing collections, pick as many as you need, and see everything you’ve selected in one place before you save.
Collapsible navigation: In your Explore sidebar, each category expands to show its sub-collections, so you can jump straight to what you need.
How to create a Category
Go to Explore and open Workouts, Nutrition or Resources, then select the Collections tab.
Click the + icon at the top of the collections list.
In the Create New Section window, select Category (instead of Collection).
Enter a Display Name, for example “Trending”.
Under Layout, choose how the category appears to your clients: Square, Wide, Tall, Circular or Tags.
Set the Tile Size and Text Placement. Turn on Use custom layout if you want more control.
Add a Thumbnail if you’d like one, then click Next.
How to add sub-collections
After creating the category, click Start Adding on the empty category page.
In the Select sub-collections window, search by name or scroll through your collections.
Click a collection to add it. Your picks appear in the Selected panel on the right.
To remove one, click the X next to it in the Selected panel.
Click Save.
Your sub-collections now appear as tiles inside the category. To add more later, click Add More Items on the category page or Add More at the top right.
Where you’ll see it
Your category shows up in the Explore sidebar. Click it to expand and see the sub-collections nested under it. Clients see the same grouped experience in the app, using the layout you picked.
Things to keep in mind
A category holds collections, not individual items. Add your workouts, meals or resources to a collection first, then group the collections in a category.
Categories work within their own section. A category created in Workouts holds Workouts collections, a category created in Nutrition holds Nutrition collections, and the same applies to Resources.
You can add collections to a category at any time, so you can start small and build it out.
