What is collection in Salesforce?

Collections are created in the publishing channel’s workspace, which means the Salesforce admin has to help the content owners with organization.

Can you create a collection before you create content?

You don’t always have content to tag and put in a collection, so you can create a collection before you create content. As long as you set up a dynamic collection and add the right conditions (such as topic, publishing date, or title), the collection automatically populates when you start adding content.

Tucker Home Goods already makes its suppliers fill out a specifications field, so it would make sense to expose that field to buyers.
