To delete an item, click its trash can icon. When you select an item, an edit form appears where you can edit its contents.

When your site is set as a Multilingual Site, any item description editing or deletion will affect the static collection's content in all the languages configured.
Additional fields for static collections
You can add additional fields on your static collections such as categories and tags. When you're setting up the content of your collection control, make sure the content is marked as Fixed. This lets you set Additional fields for your fixed collection.
You can give these fields the name you wish, they will be required fields for each of the collection items. The content of these fields is hidden on your published site. You can use this extra field for filtering results in the search control.
Say we have a collection with the information of three credit cards a Bank uses and we want to add the card's franchise. For this we created an additional field named Franchise.
Now, when we edit the items the franchise appears as a required field.
Simple static search for multiple collections
You can use a search control for multiple fixed collections. To set up your search control, hover the mouse pointer over it and then select the Manage search option.

Click Next, and turn on the option to categorize your search if you want.
When you categorize your searches the values of the category (additional field) will be visible to your stakeholders and will act as a filter. The fields that can be selected as categories must be shared amongst all the collection controls.
Then, set your search placeholder, the button's label, and field icon and icon color.
