- Updates the **Search**, **Details**, and **Selection** components used on the collection detail page.
- Updates the **Search** and **Details** components used by the **Creation** component on the collection detail page.

To enable collections for a definition:

1. On the menu bar, click **Manage** :mdiCogOutline:.
2. On the **Manage** page, click **Schema**.
3. On the **Schema** page, click the entity definition you want.
4. On the entity definition page, click **Actions** :mdiDotsHorizontal: and then click **Enable/Disable**.
5. In the **Enable/Disable** dialog box, turn on the **Collections** switch.
6. To enable access to the detail page for this collection, enter the name of that page in the **Detail page name** field.
7. Click **Confirm**.
8. Click **Done**.
