  What are the different types of collections available on Unsplash, and how can users create and manage them?

  Unsplash offers a variety of collections that users can create and manage to organize and curate their favorite images. Here's a breakdown of the different types of collections available on Unsplash and how users can create and manage them:

  Types of Collections on Unsplash

  1. Public Collections:

     • Description: These are collections that are visible to everyone on Unsplash. They can be followed by other users, and the images within them can be viewed and downloaded by anyone.

  2. Private Collections:

     • Description: These collections are only visible to the user who created them. They are not accessible to other users.
     • Purpose: Private collections are useful for personal organization, such as gathering images for a project or keeping track of inspiration without sharing it publicly.

  Creating and Managing Collections

  Creating a Collection

  1. Log in to Unsplash:

     • Users need to have an Unsplash account and be logged in to create collections.

  2. Navigate to Collections:
