# Breadcrumbs
With Pipeline, you can create and display custom product breadcrumbs for every product you offer. This feature enables shoppers to easily navigate back to a specific collection that you have configured.
### Advantages
Using a custom breadcrumb helps resolve issues:
* Subcollections
* SEO links for when products are linked from both /products/ and /collection/
* Home breadcrumbs
## How to create
> Custom breadcrumbs with metafields support added in **Pipeline 7.1**
A few basic steps exist to set up and start using custom breadcrumbs. Here is a quick summary of the steps:
{% hint style="success" %}
**Basic steps**
1. Using the Shopify Admin under Settings -> Custom data, define a **product metafield**. The Content type is Collection, List of collections (easy step).
2. In the Product Setup, **choose a collection from a list** for any of your products that will be displaying a product breadcrumb.
3. In the Theme Editor, ensure that the option to **Show breadcrumbs** is checked and the dynamic data source is linked.
{% endhint %}
### Step 1
In the Shopify Admin -> Settings -> Custom data, choose Products:
* Use the "**Add definition**" button to create a new product definition
* For the Name, use any name you like. We will use "Breadcrumbs" in our example.
* Click on the Select type button and type in "Collection", then select **Collection**:
* Choose **List of collections** (important):
* Press the **Save** button to complete
### Step 2
After creating the Breadcrumbs metafield, we can now choose from a list of collections in our Shopify Admin -> Products, then pick a product to configure the custom breadcrumb:
{% embed url="" fullWidth="true" %}
### Step3
In the Theme Editor, we can activate Breadcrumbs and link to our metafield:
{% embed url="" fullWidth="true" %}
> ***Tip:*** Products without a metafiled value in the Product set up, won't display a breadcrumb.
## Basic version
If your store only requires one source collection, you can use the basic setup.
### How to
In the Theme Editor under the default Product template, you can simply choose **one** collection from the list of collections and that will display on all your products. No metafield setup is required.
The chosen collection will appear on **All** your product pages.
* You can create multiple product templates to only show with certain products.
* Toggle on and off with the **Show breadcrumbs** checkbox.
