Creating Collections

To create a collection, you’ll need to have some work in your portfolio. If you haven’t already, check out our Uploading Work article.

You can have 30 collections per profile and each collection can hold 100 images.

  1. Head to your Manage Portfolio page by clicking on your avatar in the top right corner and hitting ‘Manage Portfolio’.
  2. Once on this page, select the works you want to put in a Collection. You can do so by marking the checkbox on each of the works you want to add.
  3. From here, a new set of buttons will appear near the top. Click on the ‘Collections’ drop-down menu.

  4. In the textbox, type in the name of your new collection.
  5. Click the plus sign to create the collection.
  6. You’ll see that the collection name appears in the drop-down menu. To include the designs you picked, select the new collection and hit ‘Add’.
Keep in mind you can only add designs that are set to public. Private designs cannot be added to collections.

Editing Collections

From the Manage Portfolio page, click on the ‘Collections’ button at the top. This is where all the tools for managing collections are located.

  1. To edit a collection, click the cogwheel on the corner of that Collection.
  2. Hit ‘Edit’. This will take you to your Manage Collection page.
  3. On this Manage Collection page, you can edit the title, description, default order, and thumbnail style of the collection. You can also remove designs from the collection.

  • Title & Description: In these text boxes, you can edit the title and description of your Collection.
  • Default View: You can control the way your images are organized in your collection. The default is set to Custom, giving you free rein to sort work as you see fit.
  • Thumbnail Style: This determines what preview image will be used in your collection. You can select between cropped images or uncropped images and particular or randomized products.

Removing work from a Collection

  1. To remove work from a Collection, head to the Manage Collection page.
  2. Click on the work(s) you want to remove to select them.
  3. Selecting a work will bring up the ‘Remove from Collection’ button at the top of the page, which you can click to remove.

Highlighting Collections

If there's a particular collection that you're especially proud of, you can showcase it in your Profile using the "Highlight Collection" button.
