Please note: Automated Collection: An automated collection uses predefined conditions to automatically include products that match specific criteria. You can set conditions based on product tags, titles, types, vendors, etc. When a product meets the specified conditions, it will be automatically added to the collection.

Manual Collection: A manual collection allows you to manually select individual products to include in the collection.

Conditions:
Scroll down to the “Conditions” section of the collection editing page.

Click the “Add condition” button to start configuring your conditions.

In the first dropdown menu, select the attribute you want to use for your condition. You can choose from options like “Product title,” “Product type,” “Product vendor,” “Product tag,” and more.

In the second dropdown menu, select the operator that matches the relationship you want to establish with the attribute. For example, if you selected “Product tag” as the attribute, you can choose “is equal to,” “is not equal to,” “contains,” “does not contain,” and so on.

In the text box next to the operator, enter the value you want to match with the attribute. For instance, if you selected “Product type” as the attribute and “is equal to” as the operator, you can enter the specific product type you want to include in the collection.

If you want to add multiple conditions, click the “Add another condition” button

You can choose whether the conditions should match “any” or “all” of the selected attributes. The “any” option means that at least one of the conditions must be met for a product to be included, while the “all” option requires all the conditions to be met.

Once you have added and configured the desired conditions, click the “Save” button to update the automated collection with the new conditions.
