Collections allow you to group and sell videos as a series—you can group them either because they have the same subject or because they need to be watched in a specific order. Depending on your content, this could be a TV series or an instructional series, or something like a 10-day yoga course.
Within a collection, you can add sections to segment your content: we call these dividers. Let's use an example for this; say I'm offering a course on Gardening, here's what that would look like:
In my playlist, I have:
Mountain Pond
Forest Checkin
Day 1 (Divider)
Wolf Lichen Tree
Day 2 (Divider)
Red Evening
Day 3 (Divider)
Shoreline
I have 5 videos, and they are sectioned into 3 dividers which gives some organization and order to my playlist.
Now, if you're wondering what the difference between categories and collections is, categories are essentially like genres for your content—a collection will belong to a category. If you've got a fitness channel, you might organize your videos in categories like lifting, cardio, or nutrition. If you want to know more about categories, you can read our article!
