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

Begin by selecting the 'New Collection' () button.
The collection create window will pop up in the center of your screen.
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.
