00:00.080 --> 00:04.280
So now that you've got your store fantastically well organised using collections, the next thing I

00:04.280 --> 00:06.770
want to show you is the featured collection.

00:06.770 --> 00:12.260
But before I get into that, the first thing I want to do is to talk about the home page collection.

00:12.260 --> 00:17.180
Because as I'm sure you remember in the last lecture, I was saying, please don't worry about it because

00:17.180 --> 00:19.010
I will talk about it later.

00:19.010 --> 00:20.420
Well, that moment is now.

00:20.420 --> 00:25.010
So there's definitely nothing mysterious about the home page collection, because you can simply think

00:25.010 --> 00:26.600
of it as the bucket.

00:26.600 --> 00:31.850
In other words, whenever you add a product to your store, it's going to automatically go into your

00:31.850 --> 00:33.170
home page collection.

00:33.170 --> 00:38.720
And you can see that here, because without me doing anything, all of my six products are already within

00:38.720 --> 00:40.130
my home page collection.

00:40.490 --> 00:46.280
So with that in mind, the next thing I want to do is to go over to my store and scroll down a bit where

00:46.280 --> 00:52.040
we see this section, the featured products, and you can think of the featured products as being exactly

00:52.040 --> 00:54.050
the same as a featured collection.

00:54.050 --> 00:58.580
Now this might get a little bit confusing, so please bear with me, but I promise you it will become

00:58.580 --> 01:00.170
clear by the end of the lecture.

01:00.170 --> 01:06.200
So now the question is how come we've got a featured collection on our home page when seemingly we haven't

01:06.200 --> 01:08.240
done anything at all to set this up?

01:08.240 --> 01:14.000
Well, the reason for that is because the feature collection is linked to your home page collection.

01:14.000 --> 01:20.180
And to make that clear, let me just go back to admin, come down to the online store and click on customize

01:20.180 --> 01:22.040
to open up the theme editor.

01:22.040 --> 01:25.280
And then come over here where you see Featured collection.

01:25.280 --> 01:31.070
Click on Feature Collection and scroll down a bit until you see this part collection.

01:31.070 --> 01:35.870
And you can see here home page, meaning that the home page collection.

01:35.870 --> 01:37.970
In other words, all of our six products.

01:37.970 --> 01:44.120
The bucket, if you like, is linked by default to our feature collection, and that's why it's showing

01:44.120 --> 01:45.230
on the home page.

01:45.230 --> 01:49.910
Now, it's possible at this point that you're still thinking, well, I'm a bit confused, so let me

01:49.910 --> 01:55.850
help you out because we can change the collection that is linked to this feature collection simply by

01:55.850 --> 01:58.550
clicking on this change button here.

01:58.550 --> 02:04.160
Selecting Change Collection where you see a list of the collections which of course you're now familiar

02:04.160 --> 02:04.580
with.

02:04.580 --> 02:06.980
And home page is selected by default.

02:06.980 --> 02:12.500
But now let's imagine that I actually don't want to show all of my products, and instead I would prefer

02:12.500 --> 02:14.930
to show just my features collection.

02:14.930 --> 02:19.190
Well, to do that, all I would need to do is to come up here and click on this little tick.

02:19.190 --> 02:23.390
And as you can now see on the right hand side, my feeders collection is showing.

02:23.390 --> 02:31.010
If I wanted to change that to leashes, of course I select leashes or maybe backpacks or even towels.

02:31.010 --> 02:37.130
And so hopefully you can now see that I can very easily control which collection I want to show as my

02:37.130 --> 02:38.210
feature collection.

02:38.420 --> 02:40.760
So let's actually make the change.

02:40.760 --> 02:45.770
And I'm going to put it on to leashes and then come down here and click on select.

02:45.770 --> 02:48.320
And then we'll go ahead and click on save.

02:48.320 --> 02:52.130
Now let's head back to the site and refresh.

02:52.130 --> 02:55.910
And my leashes collection now shows as I would expect.

02:55.940 --> 02:59.930
Now I promised you that by the end of the lecture you wouldn't be confused anymore.

02:59.930 --> 03:05.480
But if you still are, I would really encourage you to go through this process on your store.

03:05.480 --> 03:08.690
And hopefully at that point it will really bring it to life.

03:08.690 --> 03:14.240
And so just to finish this lecture, what I would like to do is to actually change this title featured

03:14.240 --> 03:17.810
products, because quite frankly, I find it a little bit dull.

03:17.810 --> 03:23.630
I would much prefer to have a title that's more exciting, more of a call to action, something more

03:23.630 --> 03:26.060
like check out our latest products.

03:26.060 --> 03:28.040
So let's actually make that change.

03:28.040 --> 03:30.020
So I'll go back to the theme editor.

03:30.020 --> 03:32.900
And as you can see, I'm still on the feature collection.

03:32.900 --> 03:37.490
And if I scroll up a bit here, here is the heading Featured Products.

03:37.490 --> 03:44.840
So I will remove it and replace it with check out our latest products and then clicking on save.

03:44.840 --> 03:47.900
I'll go back to the site once again and refresh.

03:47.900 --> 03:55.550
And everything is as I would expect, giving me a fantastic way to highlight any collection I wish on

03:55.550 --> 04:00.050
my home page by simply setting it as my featured collection.
