Limits and behavior
- Changes in the collection editor are staged until you press Save; saving publishes immediately — there is no separate publish step.
- Deleting a collection deletes its merchandising data, including pins.
- Collections created in the portal are either categories or campaigns; only campaigns have an editable URL slug.
- When your commerce platform owns your categories, the portal rejects creating a category, and synced categories keep their metadata and product membership read-only (product order stays editable).
- Products added through Add products join the collection unpinned.
- Filter rules labeled Platform-synced are managed by your platform integration and cannot be edited.
- Ranking options can be unavailable for a store, and an option marked no longer available cannot be re-selected after you change away from it.
Collections list
- Browse collections as a table or tree (toggle in the header).
- Filter by type — All, Categories, Smart Picks, Brands, Campaigns, Styles, Looks — and search by title. The Campaigns tab is always shown, even before you have created a campaign; other type tabs appear only when the store has collections of that type.
- Sort by title, last updated or product count.
- The table also shows performance columns — Views, Clicks, CTR, Revenue, Units and STR, each with the change versus the preceding period — see Collection analytics for what they mean.
- Mark collections as favourites to pin them to the sidebar.
Creating collections
Create in the header opens a dropdown with the two collection types you can create:Collection editor
Products in a collection are split into two sections:- Pinned — products you’ve fixed to a position. Drag to reorder.
- Auto-sorted — everything else, ranked automatically by performance.
Display options
The Display button sets how product cards look in the editor. These options change only your view in the portal, not the storefront, and are remembered in your browser for each store.
Display options apply to the grid; in list view they are disabled.
Bulk actions
Select multiple products (Escape clears the selection) and apply an action to all of them at once: pin, pin to top, pin to bottom, pin to an exact position, unpin, hide, unhide or remove.Adding products and rules
The Add products modal adds products as (unpinned) collection members. Merchants with the corresponding permission can also add filter rules that define collection membership dynamically.Content cards
Interleave content cards with the product grid — add, edit, move and delete them directly in the editor. A card sits in the grid beside the products and takes one of three sizes:
A card can also carry a line of copy (up to 140 characters) and an optional
call-to-action (up to 60 characters), placed in
one of nine positions on the image or video. Depict sends only the words and
their position: your storefront shows them, so its own styling (for example
your brand font) decides how they look. See
content cards for the fields your
developers render.
Collection settings
The settings modal has three tabs:- General — localized titles per language and, for campaigns, the URL slug. The collection ID and type are copyable here.
- Ranking — choose how the auto-sorted section is arranged.
- Visibility — toggles that control where the collection appears across your storefront.
The portal API represents these options as
top (Standard), similar
(Grouped) and complementary (Matched).
Collections can be deleted from this modal (with a two-step confirmation).
