# Elements of a Collection While every collection has different options, they share the same core elements. ### Data Selection and Configuration Select any field from your model to add it to your collection. Once selected fields can be configured to adjust the aggregation, sort order, limit the data, and other configuration options. ### Filters Filters can be created on any field in your model. Each collection has some unique filtering options. To learn how each collection incorporates filters refer to the specific collection docs. ### Canvas The canvas area is where the draft version of the collection is displayed. As changes are made they will be reflected on the canvas. The changes reflected on the canvas are only made live when the collection is published. ### Design Themes Visual collections have a default theme applied however different themes may be applied when the collection is embedded. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
