Hi Connor!

First of all - Welcome to Wix!
Now, as for your question.
I’ll take a guess and assume that we’re talking about the ‘Testimonials’ page - where you have a dataset and a repeater, and your goal is to display the content from a specific collection that you’ve created.

I also see that you’ve added a WixForms form so I’ll split my answer to two sections.

  1. The wixForms is an app provided by Wix. As one, usually it is a pre-built and designed platform that is very limited to changes and manipulations.

If you wish to collect more data from your users, you can build your own form using the wide variety of components (input boxes, radio buttons, upload buttons and etc).
Once you’re done designing your form, use a dataset to connect it and save the user’s input into a collection.
Note that in order to submit data into your collection, you’ll need to use a ‘write-only’ dataset.

  1. In order to display content you’ll need a ‘read-only’ dataset. This kind of dataset ‘reads’ the data from the collection and displays it in your page (exactly like you already have in your ‘Testimonials’ page.
    If you wish to display more content - add more components to your page and connect them as well to the relevant fields from your collection,

Here’s an article that explain exactly that:

Let me know if you need more instructions or help.
