Not only have we made some improvements to the experience of creating a collection, we\u2019ve also expanded the range of things you can put in them, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stories made with the classic Esri Story Maps<\/li>\n<li>Configurable apps like Compare or Minimal Gallery<\/li>\n<li>Apps made with ArcGIS Experience Builder, Hub, Insights, Operations Dashboard, and WebApp Builder<\/li>\n<li>Other items you&#8217;ve saved in ArcGIS Online<\/li>\n<li>Any embeddable content from anywhere on the web, via URL or iframe code<\/li>\n<li>Photos, videos, and PDF files uploaded from your own computer<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"youtube","start_time":"0","end_time":"","youtube_video_url":"<iframe title=\"Collections: Compact Navigation\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/by0bdu7WUCk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>"},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s quickly go through what collections are and when you might use them.
