# Change the single-item template of a Collection

# Getting Started

When you create a custom collection, a **separate page template for every collection** will be automatically created. This article will feature all the steps to create a single-item template of a collection and make changes to it; refer to the information in the sections below.

# What does ‘Single Item’ mean?

Single Item refers to the Custom Collection Item/Items that we create. For example, if we create a Custom Collection called ‘Superheroes’ and add a bunch of items to them like ‘Thor’, ‘Iron Man’ etc, a single item would be any of the items of that collection, e.g ‘Thor’ is a single item of the collection ‘Superheroes’.
