A Shopify store owner is experiencing an issue where product placeholders on their homepage collection list are not being replaced with actual products, despite believing they have added a product to the collection.
Key developments:
The user created a collection called “motivational” and thought they had added one product to it
A helper requested the store URL to investigate the issue
Upon inspection, the helper confirmed that no products actually exist in the collection when accessing the public collection page
The user initially saw a product in what appeared to be the collection page (shown in screenshot), but this was likely the admin view or a different page
When checking the actual public collection URL, the user confirmed no products are visible
Resolution:
The issue was identified as products not being properly added to the collection. The user acknowledged they need to learn how to correctly add products to the collection page. The discussion appears resolved with the root cause identified.

I am creating a new store. I have placed one product and created a collection with the same. Now, when I tried to replace the collection on the home page, I was not able to do so. My product placeholders are not replaced with actual products. Is there some technical issue, or do I need to add more products to the collection? Attaching an image for reference.
