Thanks, it works, but when I click it, I go to another page like this

async void _OnSelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangedEventArgs e) { await Navigation.PushAsync(new CustomPage { BindingContext = e.CurrentSelection.FirstOrDefault() }); }

And after returning to the previous page, the clicked element retains the color that is used when clicked, this is how it should be, this color is not removed automatically, it must be changed manually after moving to another page?

As for me, I asked the question in the same topic to which it relates. The topic is related to changing the color when selecting an element in the "CollectionView", so I have the following question. After switching to another page, the selected color remains, can it be removed automatically or should it be done manually?

You need to manually delete the selected items. Please refer to the following code and official documentation.

// in xaml <CollectionView x:Name="ItemsListView" // in code-behind ItemsListView.SelectedItem = null; ItemsListView.SelectedItems.Clear();

Clear selections

The SelectedItem and SelectedItems properties can be cleared by setting them, or the objects they bind to, to null. When either of these properties are cleared, the SelectionChanged event is raised with an empty CurrentSelection property, and the SelectionChangedCommand is executed.
