# Collections

Collections are a group of animations that you can create to help organize your favorite and most used movements.  Think of collections like a playlist for animation.

**CREATING A COLLECTION**

* From anywhere on the HEAT marketplace click the Collections button (<img src="/files/iZpEURipEHDGoI6uPweM" alt="" data-size="line">) in the left hand sidebar.
* Begin by selecting the **'New Collection'** (<img src="/files/JuUZA4TDcUYaELws6830" alt="" data-size="line">) button.

* Choose a name and description for the collection you are going to create.  You can even give each collection it's own profile picture
* Choose whether you want to make this collection public or private.
  * **Public** - Anyone on the HEAT platform can view your collection, and you can freely share your collection with other HEAT users.
  * **Private** - The collection will be for your use only, no other HEAT users will have access to it.
* Click the **'Create Collection'** (<img src="/files/EpttcvXLWypqRfxGSwOw" alt="" data-size="line">) button to finalize and move on to adding animations to the collection.
* After clicking create collection you will be redirected back to the main Collections page and you will see your newly created collection.  Now we can add animations to your collection.

**ADDING ANIMATIONS TO YOUR COLLECTION**

* From anywhere on the HEAT platform navigate back to your library with the **'My Library'** button (<img src="/files/I51X4254X0DJdeOjUNTd" alt="" data-size="line">) in the left sidebar.
* Find an animation to add to your collection and click the animation card menu button (<img src="/files/8cZ12gNooYpMKDSP94Zs" alt="" data-size="line">) in the lower left hand corner of the animation card.
* Select the **'Save to Collection'** option (<img src="/files/proMAwtBOXO4wxU2tNtV" alt="" data-size="line">).
* The save to collection popup window will appear in the center of the page.  Select the button of the collection you would like to add to.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Private animations (animations that you have uploaded to the platform but are not listed for other users to purchase) are only able to be put into private collections.
{% endhint %}

**UTILIZING YOUR COLLECTION**

{% hint style="info" %}
If you need to make changes to your collection info, or need to delete a collection, you can first navigate to your **'Collections'** page (<img src="/files/iZpEURipEHDGoI6uPweM" alt="" data-size="line">) and then click on the menu button (<img src="/files/8cZ12gNooYpMKDSP94Zs" alt="" data-size="line">) of the collection card you want to edit or delete.

Next we will go over using the HEAT Auto-Rigger to quickly and easily rig and animate your own characters.
