* **Enter Collection Name**\
  Enter a name for your collection in the **Name** field. This name will appear in the Collection list for easy management.
* **Add Categories to Collection:**
  * Add one or more **Categories** to organize your collection. Categories are hierarchical (parent-child structure).
  * You can browse existing categories by clicking the **Categories** button at the top right of the Collection list.
* **Add Tags**\
  Type any **Tag** name and press **Enter** to add it. Tags help with filtering and searching for collections later.
* **Location**\
  You can assign a specific **geographical location** to the collection — useful when organizing assets by region or capture location.
* **Metadata (optional)**\
  Optionally, click **Edit Metadata** to add extra details such as a description, project owner, or related project information.

### How to search for Collections that you have permission to view

#### **Filtering Collections**

You can use filters to quickly search and narrow down the list of displayed collections.&#x20;

* **Favorite:** Select the **Favorite** filter to show only the collections you have marked as favorites.
* **Date Created:** Filter collections by **date created**. You can select a specific time range to view collections created within that period.
* **Date Modified:** Filter by **last modified date** to see collections that were recently updated.
* **Tag:** Enter a tag name to display only collections that include that tag. This is a useful way to group collections by topic or project.
