**A collection is missing from the page.**
This page shows the collections that are available on your Online Store sales channel. In the Shopify admin, open the collection and check that it's published to the Online Store.

**Collection cards have no image.**
Add an image to the collection in the Shopify admin under **Products** > **Collections**.

**I want to choose which collections appear, and in what order.**
This page lists all your collections. To show a hand-picked set, add a **Collection list** section to a page or the homepage instead.
