Collections works more like virtual categories. It doesn’t just have to be for obvious things like “Winter Collection” but can be used for things like “Sale” or “Promotion”. In general, collections are worth having for grouping products connected in some way beyond simple categories.

Collections are also used with the [**Product privileges**](https://usermanual.ergonode.com/system/users/product-privileges) function.

{% hint style="info" %}
Collections are static, which means after you create them, they will not change unless you change them by yourself.
{% endhint %}

When you create your collection they will appear on the grid.

{% hint style="info" %}
Information on how to work with the grid can be found [here](https://usermanual.ergonode.com/products/catalog/system-views/table-view-grid-view)
{% endhint %}

To edit a collection click on the *edit (pen) icon*. It will take you to a page with three tabs: [General](https://usermanual.ergonode.com/products/collections/general),  [Translations](https://usermanual.ergonode.com/products/collections/translations), and [Products](https://usermanual.ergonode.com/products/collections/products). To delete a collection click on the *bin icon*.
