How to publish collections, stories and trails

STEP 1 ★ Collect or upload your own items

You create collections, stories and trails from items already published on the website, either from items uploaded by you or by other users.

Select from your Published items, and using the Make a new... button, create a new collection, story or trail. Note if you have more than 25 items published, you can only choose from one page at a time. Figure 10 below, shows the first step in the process, selecting items, which is the same process you follow when using ★ Collected items.
