# Designing with Multi-reference Fields

Reference fields allow you to bring information from one CMS collection into another.

{% hint style="info" %}
If your collection items don’t include reference fields, make sure you’ve set them up correctly. See [Creating Reference and Multi-Reference fields](/create-pseo-pages/connecting-webflow/creating-reference-and-multi-reference-fields.md) for more information.                         
{% endhint %}

In Webflow, there are two types of reference fields:

* Single reference fields
* Multi-reference fields

Multi-reference fields are configured to link multiple items from another collection. For example, if a product falls within several categories defined in another CMS collection, you can select all of the applicable categories that apply to the item.

Multi-reference fields are easy to configure in the collection but require a few more steps in design.

Add a new Collection List element to use a multi-reference field on your page.

Select the reference collection from the drop-down list. Ensure you’re selecting the reference collection, not the original one.

Place your element within the collection and style it as you usually would.

Click the settings to add a dynamic reference to the collection.
