I need some assistance, my objective is to create like userguide or documentation for my app.  
something like in the shared clip.  
[https://streamable.com/czunap](https://streamable.com/czunap)

On my main screen have a left pane (main topic) and on the right screen is the details or content, that whenever I click the topic the content will follow dynamically.

there is one template ive seen in template gallery. The same approach how to achieve that.

The concept is making a collection of items and make it that when clicked it sets special value in the user profile row, then basic filtering in tha layout editor that shows the data dynamically based on what the user clicked.

</div>

the challenge for using the collection component is whenever I click it , it will change the screen , I saw the option for action to show details screen but for the target the only option is to open a new screen (current, overlay , main, slide), same effect

hmm. still check if Im missing something basic here.

That’s the default behaviour, but you can change that. Read carefully what @Mazen said. The approach he described will work.

You dont need it to show detailed screen because all of the details will be in the right side but hidden because of the filtering in the user profile row.
