What are collections?
A collection is like a folder; it groups related content but with front-end features designed for browsing, searching, and filtering.
Collections are ideal for:
newsrooms,
blogs or updates,
press releases,
resource libraries,
and case studies or publications
Unlike folders, collections don’t just organise content, they help users interact with and explore that content easily.
Key features of a collection
Search bar: Users can search across all items in the collection
Filters: Sort or filter by tags, categories, topics, or dates
The tagging feature is not yet available in Studio. If you need this functionality, please reach out to the Isomer team.
When to use folders or collections?
Folders: best for structured sections with a clear landing page
Use a folder when:

You’re building traditional website sections like:
