Collections

Auto-collections

Every sub-folder in the collections/ folder automaticaly becomes a collection.

Layouts

Any layout property set directly in a content's Front Matter will not be overriden by the global ones here after.

If the content comes from one of the collections and a layout exists with the same name as the collection, it is used. The pages layout is used as a fallback.

Examples if there are news and notes layouts:

source	layout
`pages/index.md`	`pages`
`pages/about.md`	`pages`
`pages/about/index.md`	`pages`
`pages/about/other.md`	`pages`
`collections/news/index.md`	`news`
`collections/news/first-article.md`	`news`
`collections/news/2020/04/first-article/index.md`	`news`
`collections/notes/2020/0001/first-note.md`	`notes`

Permalinks

Any permalink property set directly in a content's Front Matter will not be overriden by the default one here after:

source	permalink
`index.md`	`index.html`
`about.md`	`about/index.html` ⚠︎
`about/index.md`	`about/index.html` ⚠︎
`about/about.md`	`about/index.html` ⚠︎
`about/other.md`	`about/other/index.html`
`articles/2020/04/first-article/index.md`	`articles/2020/04/first-article/index.html`

As you can see, you can't have both /about.md and either /about/index.md or /about/about.md in sources with Eleventy default permalink behavior, as they would try to create the same HTML file.
