To use a ready-to-use dynamic page and internal collection:
In the left panel, click Pages, and then click +New Page.
In the Add a Dynamic Page section, click a page that is connected to an internal collection.
Type a Page Name, and click +Add Page.
Click Go to Collection to update the content in the internal collection.
NOTE
Keep the field names as they are so they stay connected to the widgets.

In the left panel, click Content, and then click Collections.
Click +New Collection, and select Internal Collection.
