# How to add and populate a collection
## Want to add (bulk) content - such as a blog, team, news, portfolio, etc.? Collect and store your content in a collection, allowing you to render it dynamically on your webpage.
### In this article
[Step 1: Create a collection](https://support.sitemanager.io/en/dynamic-content/configuration-implementation/how-to-add-and-populate-a-collection#create-collection)
[Step 2: Create data fields](https://support.sitemanager.io/en/dynamic-content/configuration-implementation/how-to-add-and-populate-a-collection#create-data-fields)
[Step 3: Add collection items](https://support.sitemanager.io/en/dynamic-content/configuration-implementation/how-to-add-and-populate-a-collection#add-collection-itms)
[Step 4: Add content to the collection items](https://support.sitemanager.io/en/dynamic-content/configuration-implementation/how-to-add-and-populate-a-collection#add-content-to-collection-item)
### Step 1: Create a collection
- **Navigate** to the *Dynamic Content* tab in the dashboard upper navigation bar.
- **Select** *Create New Collection.*
- **Complete** the field below:
- *Name*: **Give** your collection a recognizable name.
- *Main Category:* is the default category all collection items will be listed under. You can add subcategories later. LINK
- *Dynamic Page*: **Toggle** *Yes*/*No*, depending on whether you would like a dynamic (detail) page
- *Slug*: Set your collection URL (yourdomainname.com/collection-name/collection-item)
- New Version: T**oggle** *Yes*
- **Click** *Add Collection.*
Once you've installed your collection, it will be visible in the *Dynamic Content* drop-down menu from the dashboard upper navigation bar.
### Step 2: Create data fields
- **Navigate** to the *Dynamic Content* tab in the dashboard upper navigation bar.
- **Select** the collection that you just created.
- **Click** the curly brackets in the left menu to create the data fields.
- **Add** data field names. These fields correspond to the data you want to render later on.
- **Select** a corresponding data type from the drop-down menu.
### Step 3: Add collection items
- **Navigate** to the collection overview, using the bread crumb.
- **Add** your first collection item by clicking the plus icon.
- **Complete** the required fields in the page settings.
- **Click** *Save and Edit*
**Caution**: To ensure your collection item is rendered on your freshly created page, **always** check the *Main Category*, which is called *All Topics* here.
Step 4: Add content to the collection items
- **Complete** the data fields with your content.
- **Click** the *Save* button.
- **Add** as many items as you like, using the same method from [steps 3](https://support.sitemanager.io/en/dynamic-content/configuration-implementation/how-to-add-and-populate-a-collection#add-collection-itms) and [4](https://support.sitemanager.io/en/dynamic-content/configuration-implementation/how-to-add-and-populate-a-collection#add-content-collection-item-6).
