Framer CMS Adds Collection References for Content Management

Framer has introduced Collection References, a significant upgrade to its CMS platform that transforms how content is managed across multiple sites. The system's cornerstone feature, reference fields, enables users to establish and maintain single sources of truth across various locations.

The new functionality ensures content updates automatically propagate across all connected entries, effectively eliminating duplicate data entry and maintaining site-wide consistency. Users can now leverage multi-reference fields to connect multiple content items within individual entries—a feature particularly valuable for managing author profiles, tags, categories, and related articles.

To showcase these new capabilities in action, Framer has released a comprehensive blog sample template that demonstrates practical implementations of Collection References in real-world scenarios.
