# Pin products by hand

Add named products to a manual collection and drag them into the order a shopper should see them in.

A manual collection holds exactly what you put in it, in exactly the order you leave it. That order is the reason to use one: the first few products in a hand-picked collection are the ones a shopper sees first.

*Pinned products, in the order a shopper will meet them.*

> **Before you start:**
>
> A collection with **Collection type** set to **Manual**.

## Add products

- Open the collection and find **Products in this collection**.
- Select **Add products**. On an empty collection, select the button in the middle instead.
- Search for a product by name or SKU and select it. Products already in the collection are left out of the results.
- Select as many as you need, then close the picker.

The count above the list keeps track of how many products are in the collection.

## Put them in order

Drag a product by its handle to move it. The order you leave is the order a shopper meets them in, so lead with what you want bought.

## Remove a product

Use the remove control on the product's row. It leaves the collection and nothing else about it changes: it stays in the catalogue, stays published, and stays in every other collection it belongs to.

> **Tip:**
>
> Six to twelve products is a collection somebody reads. Forty is a list they scroll past. If a manual collection is growing past that, the honest answer is usually a smart one.
