How to let logged-in users edit their published assets directly in Webflow CMS without admin approval?

Could be in way over my head, but I'm trying to add some critical functionality to my site.

I have it set up right now so when a member logs into the site, they're re-directed to a dashboard that shows them all of the assets they've published (I run a 3D asset library).

Ideally... logged in members could change items in here, and it would update to the Webflow CMS. If not that, I'm wanting it to at least update to my Notion database or something.

As a bare minimum, I need artists to be able to toggle which of their assets are "published" or not. It's a really terrible experience for them to submit a form and wait for me to unpublish their assets when I get time.

Here's a read only for my site:

    I've still got some pretty big hurdles, but your response gave me some hope! 😅

    LMK if this is something you think you'd be able to help with. Big thanks for the response.

    Thank you, really looking forward to reverse engineering this! That's such a smart solution to the pre-filling. I would have never thought of that.

    thank you!! Yeah I think everything you mentioned is super do-able, the only tough part is the files - thoughts on having them host their files on something like google drive?

    Hit a brick wall as far as I can see.

    I'll send a quick video to explain, but I think it's a webflow limitation not Memberstack...

    OMG it's working. Saved my life, thank you.

    Would it be a similar approach for multi-reference items? Make sure each item has an item-ID, and then pull those in with a hidden field input?

    And another:
    What would the webhook response look like to refresh my page?
    Keep in mind this is a collection page, so it has a unique URL.

    I believe so with multi reference but I haven’t tried yet so I’m not 100% sure!

    Re: webhook response, is your goal to refresh the page?

    If so, my suggestion would be another hidden field in the form, and use some JS to pass the URL into the form dynamically - then, reference that URL in the webhook response (you’re gonna want 302, then add custom header with key “Location” and the value is that URL)

    Thanks! Not sure about the JS yet, but I'll come up with a re-direct location in the meantime.

    Still having issues with image files, and will test multi-reference stuff.

    The fact I'm even to this point is amazing though! So thank you!

    I feel like I'm in the ball-park with multi-reference fields

    I believe I have the information, just unsure how to map.

    Looks like under "category" I have the 2 I selected. Under "category-id" I have every category id available.

    Just wanted to say THANK YOU Julian Galluzzo for all of the help! My product updater dashboard is fully operational thanks to you.

    Artists can now manage their own listing on my site.

    For the download solution I created a dropbox request link as part of the automation
