# Collections & Public Sharing

## Collections are curated working folders in Vidigami that allow you to share media with both Vidigami and non-Vidigami users. They serve as a versatile tool for creating slideshows, website content, and newsletters.

Being able to create a Collection or a Public Slideshow depends on your role permissions.
