CMS Collection pagination with dynamic filtered datasets

Webflow CMS Collection List Configuration

Webflow provides native pagination elements to split large CMS collections across multiple pages and allows for dataset bounding through the 'Max Items' setting and CMS Filter panel.

When combining these features, there is a need to determine how the pagination element interacts with filtered queries. Specifically, it is unclear if the pagination logic calculates the total page count based on the entire collection or only the subset of items that meet the active filter criteria.

For sites managing datasets near the plan's item limit, understanding this behavior is critical for maintaining consistent navigation and page load performance.

• Does the pagination element dynamically update the total page count based on the results of a CMS filter?
• Is there a way to bound a query to a specific subset while maintaining independent pagination for that subset?
