Create a Collection

A collection is a set of pages that are linked to one another to create a portfolio with multiple sections or “tabs”. A collection is a great way of organizing a lot of content in one portfolio.

To create a collection, you must first create the pages that will be the content of your collection.

Note. All pages in a collection have the same access permissions. This means that if you share or submit a page that is within a collection, all of the other pages within that collection will be shared or submitted as well. You can create multiple collections, but a page can only appear in one collection.

To create a collection:

1. On the Dashboard page, click Create.
2. Click +Create.
3. Click Collection.
4. Enter the collection name.
5. Click Continue: Edit collection pages.
6. Click the check box next to the pages you want to add to the collection.
7. Click +Add pages. 
8. Click Continue: Share. 
9. Click Save.
