A collection on Restor is a way to organize publicly published sites in a manner that suits your needs. It allows you to define the criteria for grouping sites, such as geographical area, intervention type, partners, or any other relevant factors. Creating a collection provides you with a convenient way to manage and showcase related sites. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create a collection on Restor:
Step 1: Click the yellow + Add to map button and then click New collection
To begin creating your collection, locate and click the yellow + Create button on the Restor platform.
A menu will appear. From this menu, select the option labelled New collection. This action will initiate the collection creation process.
Step 2: Give your collection a name and description
After selecting New Collection, you'll be prompted to provide a name for your collection. This is a mandatory field, so ensure you choose a descriptive name that accurately represents the purpose of the collection. Additionally, you can provide a brief description to offer further context. Once you've entered the necessary details, click the yellow Continue button to proceed.
Step 3: Set the visibility of your collection
In this step, you can determine the visibility settings for your collection. While a collection itself can be private, it's important to note that the sites within the collection cannot be made private individually. Choose whether you want your collection to be public or private based on your preferences and requirements.
Step 4: Add a cover photo (recommended for public collections)
If you've decided to make your collection public, adding a cover photo is highly recommended. The cover photo serves as a visual representation of your collection and can help attract viewers' attention. You can choose an image that best represents the theme or content of your collection.
Step 5: Click the Create collection button:
Review the information you've provided once you've completed the previous steps. If everything appears correct, click the yellow Create collection button to finalize the creation process. Congratulations! You've successfully created your collection on Restor.
