How to Create a Collection

1. Go to Collections

Open the Review Room tile from your home dashboard or All Apps. This is where you manage all your client galleries, proofing sessions, and deliveries.

2. Click New Collection

Hit New Collection in the top-right corner. You'll see a template picker with options like Wedding, Portrait Proofing, Commercial Review, Event Gallery, Client Delivery, and more. Choose the one that fits, or start with a blank collection.

3. Configure Your Collection

Give your collection a title and assign a client. Then choose a mode:

  • Gallery for showcasing finished work
  • Proofing for client selections with favorites and limits
  • Review for feedback with comments and annotations
  • Delivery for final file downloads

4. Upload Photos and Videos

Drag and drop files directly into the collection, or click to browse. creavio handles both photos and videos. Videos are automatically transcoded for smooth streaming. You can upload in bulk and organize as you go.

5. Set Privacy and Sharing

Control who can access your collection:

  • Private with a direct link only you share
  • Password protected for an extra layer of security
  • Share permissions to control whether viewers can comment, select, or have full access

6. Share with Your Client

Click Share to send the collection link to your client via email. They'll get a beautifully branded page where they can view, select, comment on, or download their images.

Tips

  • Use AI Auto-Cull to automatically sort and score images before sharing.
  • Enable selection limits on proofing collections to keep clients within their package.
  • Collections track engagement analytics so you can see which images get the most attention.
