# Collections

### Collections

The **Collections** feature allows you to save, organize, and manage Telegram channels in one place.

It is designed to help you structure your research, build channel selections, and export them for further use or sharing.

### What are Collections?

Collections are custom lists of Telegram channels that you create manually.

You can use them to:

* organize channels by topic or niche
* save channels for future analysis
* prepare selections for advertising campaigns
* export channel lists and share them externally

### How to create a Collection

To create a collection:

1. Click **Create collection**
2. Fill in the required fields:
   * **Collection name** (up to 40 symbols)
   * **Description** (optional, up to 132 symbols)
3. Choose **access settings**:
   * Private (default)
   * (can be changed later)
4. Click **Save**

### Collection settings

Each collection includes:

* **Name** — title of your collection
* **Description** — short explanation of its purpose
* **Access type** — defines visibility
* **List of channels** — channels you add manually

### Why use Collections?

Collections help you:

* avoid losing important channels
* structure your workflow
* prepare channel selections for campaigns
* export and share channel lists with clients or teammates

### How to use Collections effectively

* group channels by **niche** (e.g., News, E-commerce, Education)
* separate **testing pools** and **approved channels**
* create collections for **different countries**
* build collections for **specific campaigns or clients**

### How to create a Collection

#### Method 1 — From Collection (manual search)

1. Open your Collection
2. Click **Add channel**
3. Search by:
   * channel name
   * or username
4. Select the channel and add it

👉 This method is useful if you already know which channels you need.

#### Method 2 — From Primary Catalog (recommended)

1. Go to **Primary Catalog → Channels**
2. Apply filters:
   * Category
   * Country
   * Subscribers
   * ER
   * Growth
3. Find relevant channels
4. Click the **bookmark/save icon** next to a channel
5. Select your Collection

👉 This is the **main and most effective way** to build collections.

### Important note

Adding channels directly from the Collection page is limited, because it requires manual search.

For better results, use the **Primary Catalog with filters** and add channels from there.

### Collection settings

Each collection includes:

* **Name**
* **Description**
* **List of saved channels**

You can also:

* export the collection
* use it outside the platform
