What are Collections?


Think of Collections as digital folders designed to help you organize your library. You can create Collections for virtually anything; product lines, seasonal releases, color schemes, content types, geographic regions, brand campaigns, custom hashtags, or even specific social profiles. Use your imagination and organize your UGC to your heart’s content.

Here are some helpful tips for getting started with Collections:
