Create a site collection

You use site collections to group related websites, such as websites that represent a specific brand. All sites must be assigned to a collection, and you either create collections using the Create Collection process described here, or when creating a new site.

Important

Sites can't be moved between collections.

Note

To create and manage sites and site collections, you must have the Admin or the Sitecore Client Site Managing role. Contact your system administrator to request the access rights as needed.

To create a collection:

  1. In Sites, in the upper-right corner, click Create > Collection.

  2. Enter the collection name.

  3. The system name of the collection is created automatically based on the name entered for the collection, but you can edit it if needed.

  4. You can add a Description of the collection.

    Create a site collection in XM Cloud
  5. Click Create.

Now you can select the collection when you create a site, or you can create the site directly from within the collection.
