Create a collection:

A collection is a set of pages that are linked to each other and have the same access permissions. You can create as many collections as you like, but a page cannot appear in more than one Collection. If your portfolio has more than one page then you'll need to combine these as a Collection. This is very important if you are submitting a portfolio with multiple pages for assessment.

To build a collection:

1. From menu in the top right-hand corner, click Create and then Pages and collections.
