Hi! What is the best way to have a component e.g. for an article in the CMS collections listing? When I try to get a link to the article detail there, Webflow doesn't show me "Link to current template" (or similar) and I have to detach the component. Or am I doing something wrong? Thank you for the answer.

To be completely honest I would make another component for the primary card, it seems that it takes too much effort to make a second version of the same card in the same component :/ Also, love the way Sam says "Yeah, sure". Good video :D

Hey Fuster, that's definitely a good approach!

I love this livestream - but for me it takes to much time when the top person has to discuss everything with the person below, while the top person is running us through the process. Wouldn’t it be wiser to let the person below do the actions while discussing it with the presenter/host at top? That way the host can ask questions and discuss, while the «Expert» below actally can be the learning resource and show his examples/ways of doing it. Sorry for my bad english!

Hey Eivinj, appreciate the feedback! Still figuring out how best to do this!

@@Webflow thanks for replying! It shows how community focused you guys are. Looking forward to the next streams :)

when i can add embed in component properties?

[@Webflow]

Do you mean a code embed?

[@Bands740]

@@Webflow yes, wanted to ask same question? Does costume code works in components?

[@hyperadapted]

Great content and I mean no disrespect but the dude on top should talk less.

[@Webflow]

Thanks for the feedback :)

FWIW, I often find it useful for things to be explained in more than one way; I think Aaron is good at this!

[@hyperadapted]

@@tiredlabrador I understand his take and that he deliberately slows down to go deeper on some topics, especially considering the varying skill levels of the viewers and speed of the speaker, however at times it felt as if the flow is disrupted. So maybe adjust the format with better communicated definition-brakes so it does not feel like interruption

It would be really nice if you were more definitive on what you want to do, and not be so "wishy washy." I suggest an outline of specific steps with specific content.
