So I have a UICollectionView that I want to use to display multiple UICollectionViewCells and different headers depending on the state the user is in. The problem is I can't seem to register multiple UICollectionResuableView (header) views within the storyboard. If I try to register one as a footer and use it as a header the app crashes. I also do not see anywhere in the storyboard to declare the number of sections, which would alleviate the problem. For now I'm having to use multiple UICollectionViews and hide/unhide the collectionview I want to display based on the header I need. Is there a better way to do this, or a way to register multiple header views in the same UICollectionView within the storyboard?

Use Supplementary View to Add Header and Footer in UICollectionView.
There are no section headers in the UICollectionView. So for your first task, you'll add a new section header using the search text as the section title. To display this section header, you'll use UICollectionReusableView .
A view that defines the behavior for all cells and supplementary views presented by a collection view.
collectionView(_:viewForSupplementaryElementOfKind:at:)Asks your data source object to provide a supplementary view to display in the collection view.
You cannot register more than one header in a UICollectionView in a storyboard, but you can register an arbitrary number of them in code. You should create however many headers as you want in nib files (One nib per header, with the header as the top level object), and register them with your collection view instance in viewDidLoad.
You would do this with the registerNib:forSupplementaryViewOfKind:withReuseIdentifier: method.
