CMS Dashboard Navigation
Build direct links into the CMS (Content Manager) pages of a site's dashboard. For the general URL contract (metaSiteId, fallbacks, redirects), see Dashboard Navigation.
All CMS (app ID e593b0bd-b783-45b8-97c2-873d42aacaf4) pages live under:
https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/wix-cms/{route}Main Pages
| Page | URL after /dashboard/{metaSiteId}/ |
What it manages |
|---|---|---|
| Collections list | wix-cms |
All CMS collections on the site |
| Collection items | wix-cms/data/{collectionId} |
A specific collection's items table |
Older links (database, developer-tools/database) redirect to wix-cms. {collectionId} is the collection's ID (e.g. Stores/Products for app collections, or the ID you set when creating the collection).
Pairing Entities with Their Read APIs
Fetch the entity via REST, then link the matching dashboard page. All calls use https://www.wixapis.com with an Authorization header.
| Entity | Read API | Dashboard link |
|---|---|---|
| Collection (schema) | GET https://www.wixapis.com/wix-data/v2/collections/{collectionId} · GET https://www.wixapis.com/wix-data/v2/collections (list) |
wix-cms/data/{collectionId} |
| Data item | POST https://www.wixapis.com/wix-data/v2/items/query (body includes dataCollectionId) · GET https://www.wixapis.com/wix-data/v2/items/{itemId}?dataCollectionId=... |
wix-cms/data/{collectionId} (the collection's items table) |
Example — after creating a collection and inserting items:
Created the "Recipes" collection with 12 items.
Manage it here: https://manage.wix.com/dashboard/{metaSiteId}/wix-cms/data/RecipesNotes
- There is no per-item dashboard URL; link the collection's items table.
- Unknown deeper paths fall back to the longest matching route, so a wrong collection ID lands on the CMS home rather than a 404.
