Whenever you launch a collection from the top level, the collection is displayed as a browse page instead of content view. For example, if you create a collection and set it to Content View, opening that collection from the app menu will display the browse page, but opening that same collection from a different collection (such as the "home" collection) will honor Content View and display the first article. My guess is that you launched your collections from the app menu.

Ok Thanks a lot Bob cool info !!!!

One more please!!! Is there anyway to hide the cards thumbnails ? Because our app has 145 pages, so we migrate from the DPS 2014, and it show 140 thumbnails !! lot of work with cards !!! we want to build a main and principal browser page with maybe 12 cards for the different sections !! Is this posible ??? Thanks a lot in advance Bob !!!!

It sounds like your app has 145 articles all in the same collection. Here are a couple ways to handle this:

Option 1 - If you don't want an article to appear on a browse page, select "Hide from Browse Page" in article properties. Users will be able to jump to that article from a link or swipe to it horizontally, but it won't appear on the browse page.

Option 2 - Create 12 sub-collections that appear as cards on your home page. Add the articles to these sub-collections. If you don't want to bother with browse pages, set each sub-collection to Content View so that the first article appears.

I would go with Option 2.
