Add projects to the collection:
1. Click + Manage Projects.
2. Select the projects you want to add.
3. Click Continue.
(Optional) Click the Hide this collection toggle to hide this collection from your portfolio until you're ready to display it.
Click the Add icon under Cover image to add an image that represents the collection. Click the Focal Point icon to adjust where the image is centered.
(Optional) Edit the Collection Slug to change the last part of the collection's URL.
Click Save.
Repeat these steps to add more collections to your portfolio.
