For more information see [Collections in Enhanced CMS Workspaces](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.cms_content_collections.htm&type=5&language=en_US). You can't use this type of collection from an enhanced CMS workspace on an Aura site. Before you can create collections, ensure that your Aura site is added as a channel to your CMS workspace or enhanced CMS workspace. Managing and curating content isn’t always done in a straight line. For instance, you can publish several news articles in your Salesforce CMS workspace and create a complete collection containing those articles. Or you can create a CMS collection before you write content in your CMS workspace. - Create a manual collection by adding individual CMS content items one at a time. You can add the manual collection to your Aura site, and the collection doesn’t change unless you add or remove content. - Create conditional collections to automatically show updated CMS content on your Aura site. With conditional collections, you can create and apply filters to collect content that meets your defined criteria. For instance, you can create a collection that automatically selects new products for the month, rather than manually creating collections each month. In your Aura site's Content Management workspace, the Collections page lists your existing collections by their title, type of content, and last modified date (1). On this page you can create a collection (2) and edit or delete collections from the row-level menu (3). ![Collections page in Content Management](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-experience-communities-264-0-0-production-enus/bf7df212-91a1-4fa3-a007-4d6f3e3b470b/communities/images/community_cms_collections-managing.png) After you create collections, you can populate your Aura site with content by using CMS Collection components in Experience Builder. Any new or updated content that meets your criteria displays automatically. - **[Create a Manual CMS Collection for Your Aura Site](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.community_managed_content_collections_creatingnative-manually.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** Create hand-picked static collections of Salesforce CMS content.
