Problem with finding my collection in admin panel

Topic summary

A user cannot locate two specific collection pages in their Shopify admin panel to edit SEO metadata:

Missing Pages:

  • /collections (collection list page) - visible only in theme customization/main menu
  • /collections/all - only discoverable through Google search results

Root Cause:
These are Shopify default pages, not standard collections:

  • /collections is a built-in template displaying all collections
  • /collections/all is an automatic smart collection showing all products
  • Neither appears in the regular collections admin section

Solution:
SEO metadata (meta titles/descriptions) can still be modified through:

  • Theme editor
  • Custom code
  • Some themes offer direct SEO editing in the customization section

The issue stems from Shopify’s architecture rather than a configuration problem.

Hi
I have problem with finding two collection pages in my admin panel; collection list and collections/all

  • For collection list, I can’t see it in my collections section in the admin panel but I can see it from theme customization section (because it is in the main menu and it is the collection list there that I can choose) https://www.acunsport.com/collections
  • For collection/all My only way to see it is through searching my brand on google and then there I can see it in one of the sublinks (products). No other way to find it https://www.acunsport.com/collections/all

I need to make changes (like chaning meta title and meta description) to these pages but I can’t and I feel I have no control over my shop in this regard. Here is our website : acunsport.com

Shopify makes it a bit tricky when it comes to these two default pages:

The Collection List page at /collections isn’t an actual collection in your admin, but rather a built-in template that displays all the collections you’ve created.

Similarly, the “all” collection at /collections/all is a default smart collection Shopify creates to show all your products—it also won’t appear under your normal collections section.

While these pages don’t show up in the collections admin, the good news is you can still edit their SEO titles and meta descriptions via the theme editor or by adding a little custom code. Some themes allow SEO edits directly in the customize section.
