# Add assets to collections

After you [create a collection](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/create-collections.html "Create collections"), you can add assets to it using either the [**Collections** page](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/collections.html "Collections") or the [asset details page](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/view-the-asset-details-page.html "View the asset details page").

> [!note]
> Adding assets to a collection creates symbolic links between the assets and the collection entity.

> [!important]
> If you add restricted assets to a collection and [make it public](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/make-a-collection-public.html "Make a collection public"), the restricted assets are not shared.
