Articles List

Use this block to display a list of articles (your blog posts) from the Articles collection. It's perfect for sharing news updates, litter announcements, care guides, or any other written content on your site.

Example Use
Add a list of recent blog posts to your homepage or create a dedicated blog index page.

Info

If you're not sure how to add an Articles List block to your page, start with the Managing Building Blocks guide. It covers how to create a new block or add an existing one from your collection, as well as how to reorder and remove blocks within a page.

  • Latest 3
    Automatically shows your three most recent articles.

  • All
    Automatically includes every published article in the collection.

Tip

Not sure which to choose?

  • Use Manually Select to feature specific articles in a custom order.
  • Use Latest 3 for a dynamic preview on your homepage.
  • Use All on a dedicated blog or news page.

Display

Choose what additional information to show with each article:

  • Hero Image – Show the hero image for each article.
  • Summary – Show the summary of each article.

The article date is always shown automatically.

Not sure when to show the summary

Summaries work well when you're showing just a few articles, like the latest three on your homepage.
If you're displaying all articles on a blog or news page, it’s often best to leave summaries off to keep the page compact.


Layout & Style

This block uses the standard card and list display options shared across multiple block types.

Info

To learn about Type, Card Type, Card Style, Card Gap, and more, see the full guide on Card and List Display Options.


Heading & Content

You can optionally add:

  • Heading – A title for the block (e.g. Latest News, From the Blog, Updates).
  • Content – Rich text that appears below the heading. Use this to introduce the articles or add context.

If you leave both fields blank, no heading or text will be shown.
