# Collections

> Activate, sort, pin, version and publish your Shopify collections with Depict Lite.

## Activating collections

Turn Depict on per collection. Active collections get the Depict template and
appear in the merchandising editor; deactivating restores the collection's
original template. Your plan determines how many collections can be active at
once.

## Sorting

Each collection gets an automatic sort order:

* Best selling (by units or revenue)
* Trending (by units or revenue)
* Newest / oldest
* Price (ascending or descending)
* Alphabetical (A–Z or Z–A)
* Stock
* Clicks
* Manual

On top of the sort order you can **pin products** to fixed positions. An
optional **unpin out-of-stock** setting automatically releases pins when a
product sells out.

## Versions, publishing and scheduling

Collection configurations are saved as **versions**:

* Publish a version as the **main version** — the live configuration.
* Publish **market-specific versions** for individual Shopify markets or
  market groups.
* **Schedule** a version to go live at a future time (and unschedule it).

## Sync back to Shopify

Depict writes the computed product order back into the actual Shopify
collection, so the merchandising applies in your theme and every sales
channel — no storefront changes needed. The app shows you exactly which order
is currently pushed to Shopify, and a **revert** action restores the original
Shopify sort at any time.

## Content blocks and imagery

Enrich the collection grid with **content blocks** (in-grid content tiles,
with click analytics and automatic translation into your shop's locales) and
**image settings** (alternate product imagery per collection).

## Collection analytics

* Sort your collections overview by performance (for example top views) over
  a date range.
* Per collection, see product clicks (with average position) and product
  orders, filterable by market or market group.
* Preview any collection as a rendered screenshot — this also works on
  password-protected storefronts.
