# Collection List Page
> Configure Everest's collection list template and its collection card layout options.
The Collection List Page template controls the main structure used for this page type in Everest. It combines template-specific sections with reusable content blocks, which means most storefront behavior can be adjusted in the Theme Customizer without editing theme code.
## What this template controls
* Layout structure, width, alignment, and spacing
* Product, collection, or cart-related storefront behavior
* Search, filter, and sorting behavior for product discovery
* Color schemes, contrast, and shared visual styling
* The template section order and the supporting sections included by default
## Template structure
This template uses the following main sections or related theme building blocks by default:
* **List Collections**
## Getting started
Open the relevant page type or assign the template to a resource before customizing it.
Start with the primary content section so layout, filtering, gallery, or page-level behavior is defined before refining supporting content.
Review any banners, content sections, or utility sections included in the template so the full page works together as a set.
