Make a Collection

When you're done, you have a Collection page with the Chirps you chose.

Who can do this: on the Creator, Business and Academy plans, the account owner and workspace admins and editors. Making it public needs publishing rights: editors only if the owner allows it.

Make it

1. Open Collections in the menu. Type a name in the box, like "Bike Repair Basics", and click Create Collection (1). The editor opens.

   

2. In The page, fill in:

   • Name (up to 80 characters) and Web address (made from the name: 3 to 60 lowercase letters, numbers or dashes, not starting or ending with a dash). "Changing it breaks links you've already shared."
   • Description: what these Chirps help with, and who they're for. Up to 2,000 characters.
   • Cover picture: a wide picture works best; it's cropped to 3:1.

   

3. Under Add Chirps from this workspace, click Add next to each Chirp you want. Up to 60. Archived Chirps aren't offered.

4. Under Who can see it, choose Unlisted (anyone with the link) or Public (anyone, and search engines may list it). A new Collection starts as Draft: its link doesn't open for anyone, and only you and your team see it in the dashboard.

5. Click Save. For an Unlisted or Public Collection: "Saved. Visitors see the changes now." There's no separate publishing step.

Each card on the Collections page (2) shows the cover, the name, who can see it, its address and how many Chirps it has.

Good to know

• Only Chirps from the same workspace can be on a Collection. A Chirp can be on several Collections.
• Draft and archived Chirps don't show to visitors. The editor says "Draft, so visitors don't see it until it's published".
• Each Chirp keeps its own settings, such as an access code or a password.
• Make it look like yours with a brand color and the layout: see Arrange a Collection's page and its Chirps.

If it doesn't work

• "Collections come with the Creator, Business and Academy plans."
• "Already taken" or "The web address "…" is already taken. Pick another."
• "A Collection can show up to 60 Chirps"
• "One Chirp isn't in this Collection's workspace. Pick Chirps from the same workspace."
