# Collection Pages
> Generate and optimize Shopify collection pages built around your products, with rationale-backed picks, descriptions, and FAQs, then publish in a click.
## Overview
Collection Pages turns a product into a complete, AI-ready Shopify collection page: a curated set of products with a written introduction, rationale for each pick, and FAQs. Well-structured collection pages are exactly the kind of content AI shopping engines like to cite and recommend.
You can **create** a brand-new collection or **optimize** one you already have, then refine it by chat and publish to your store.

## How a collection comes together
### It starts from where the product already lives
When you pick a product, Siftly checks its current **coverage** and chooses the right path:
| Coverage | What Siftly does |
| -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **Not in any collection** | Creates a new collection from scratch |
| **In one of your Shopify collections** | Optimizes that existing collection |
| **Already in a Siftly draft** | Opens the existing draft instead of duplicating it |
| **Both** | Lets you pick which to work on |
This means you never accidentally create a duplicate collection for a product that's already covered.
### The generation pipeline
Once you choose, Siftly runs a short, multi-step pipeline in the background:
Siftly gathers context about the product, your catalog, and the competitive and citation signals in your market.
Based on coverage, Siftly decides whether to write a full new collection or patch an existing one.
Siftly drafts the collection (an introduction, the product picks with a rationale for each, and supporting copy) grounded in evidence.
The draft is humanized, checked against your brand rules, given SEO metadata and structured data, and validated.
You'll see the status move from **analyzing** to **generating** to **completed** as it runs.

## Creating a collection
Go to **Collections → Start a new collection** and choose the product to build around.
Siftly shows the product's coverage and offers the right action: create new, optimize an existing collection, or open an existing Siftly draft.
The pipeline runs and opens the collection editor when it's ready.

## The editor
The editor shows a live **rendered preview** of the collection on the left: title, hero, description blocks, the product picks with their rationale, and FAQs. On the right are tabs:
* **Chat**: make scoped edits in plain language. Pin a specific block to focus your edit on just that section.
* **Publish**: set SEO metadata, the hero image, the URL handle, and where it publishes.
* **History**: every accepted edit is versioned; click any version to compare.
* **Inputs**: the analysis and signals that informed the draft.

## Validation and publishing
When you're happy, click **Approve** to unlock publishing. On publish, Siftly validates the collection's structure and checks it against your brand rules.
If validation finds issues, Siftly lists them in a dialog with a **Publish anyway** option, so you stay in control of what goes live.
Collections publish to your Shopify **Online Store**. Once live, Siftly shows the collection's URL, and you can **republish** to push updates after further edits.
