# Create a Collection

Once you've created a Project, open it, and then Click on the "Add Collection" button in the header.<br>

1. After naming your collection, the first thing you'll have to decide is what type of collection you need. Foton for now offers two options: \
   \
   \&#xNAN;**- Flexible Collection:** used for unique items like avatars, artworks, game items, where each item will have it's own distinctive name and attributes.\
   \&#xNAN;**- Repetitive Collection:** used for items that share the same attributes, like a ticket for example, prints of the same artwork, or memberships where it will not matter that items are all the same.

2. Next Step is to define how many items your Collection will have. If you don't want to have a limit and to add items every now and then indefinetely just let the field empty. These collections are called Open Collections. \
   \* Keep in mind that on FOTON even if you set a limit for how big the collection is, you can still add items to it every now and then until you reach that limit. This gives you time to create at your own pace and don't mint the whole collection at once.&#x20;

3. Give a name for each individual item (NFT). What is outside the brackets {{ }} will stay the same for each item, while what's inside the brackets will be an incremental numbering starting with 1 and ending with the last item in the collection, depending by the limit you set above. Ex: from 1 to 5000. \
   You can see also a Preview of how your Item Name will look like after adding one in the Collection.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://foton.gitbook.io/introduction/creators/create-a-collection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
