Prioritize Collections that are specific and aligned with your audience’s most common needs. In general, many smaller Collections are more effective than a few broad ones. In EcoMap Discover, you can create two types of Collections: **dynamic** and **manual**. - **Dynamic Collections** let you set parameters so that any new asset matching those criteria is added automatically. This saves time and reduces the need for manual updates. - **Manual Collections** let you hand-pick each asset. Nothing is added unless you choose it, giving you maximum control over how your data is presented. This guide will walk you through creating a **manual Collection**. If you'd like to learn about how to make a **dynamic Collection**, you can view the knowledge base article **[here](https://help.ecomap.tech/dynamic-collections-in-ecomap-discover?hsLang=en).** Let's walk through the process: 1. Go to app.ecomap.tech 2.
