Collections Overview

Create structured playlists that guide your audience through a seamless viewing experience

Updated this week

Collections allow you to group related videos into organized playlists that can be watched in sequence.

Whether you're creating a course, TV series, or multi-day challenge, collections help your audience navigate through content in a logical order while providing you with flexible monetization options.

Understanding Collection Pages

Collections have two distinct pages that work together to create a complete viewing experience:

Collection Home Page

This is the landing page viewers see first when accessing a collection. It displays the collection's description, trailer (if added), and resources specific to the entire collection. Think of this as your collection's cover page that introduces the content.

Collection Playlist Page

This is where viewers watch individual videos within the collection. It shows the video player alongside the playlist of videos, with options to display the playlist either as a sidebar or below the player.

ℹ️ INFO: The Collection Playlist Page has its own dedicated article.

Benefits of Using Collections

Collections offer several advantages for organizing your content:

  • Structured Learning: Guide viewers through content in a specific sequence, perfect for courses or instructional series

  • Enhanced Navigation: Help viewers easily find related content grouped together

  • Flexible Monetization: Sell collections as standalone products or include them in subscription plans

  • Content Organization: Use dividers to segment content into logical sections like modules or weeks

  • Simplified Catalog: Keep your catalog clean by grouping related videos together instead of displaying them individually


Create a Collection

Before You Begin: Upload all videos you want to include in your collection first. This step is essential as you'll need existing videos to add to your collection.

  1. Navigate to Content > Collections

  2. Fill out the title, description, and other details

  3. Scroll down to the Playlist card and add your videos

  4. Add section dividers to segment your content into logical groups

  5. Upload custom thumbnails for your collection

  6. Assign at least one category for the collection to appear in your catalog

  7. Set pricing and access options

  8. Set the publication status to Published, Unpublished, or Scheduled

💡 TIP: If you don't want videos to appear individually in your catalog, you can keep them unpublished. They'll still work in collections without cluttering your main catalog.

Keep Collections Manageable

For the best viewer experience:

  • Avoid adding more than 50 videos to a single collection

  • Large collections can be overwhelming and difficult to navigate

  • Consider using filters to help viewers find specific content more easily

ℹ️ INFO: To change the order of the videos, simply drag and drop the videos using the drag handles to your desired position in the playlist.


Segmenting Collection Content with Dividers

Dividers help organize your collection into logical sections:

  1. In the Playlist section, click "Add Divider"

  2. Name your divider (e.g., "Week 1", "Beginner Level", "Module 3")

  3. Arrange videos under each divider by dragging and dropping them


Drip Delays for Time-Released Content

Drip delays allow you to control when videos become available to viewers after they access the collection.

  1. In the Playlist card, click Drip next to a video

  2. Set the number of days to delay access

  3. Optionally add an email notification for when the video becomes available

📝 NOTE: Drip timers start when a viewer first visits the collection, not when they purchase it. Videos will unlock approximately every 2 hours after the specified delay period has passed.
