New Button
----------

The New button sits next to the :ref:`CollectionsButton` at the top of the screen.
It opens a dialog where you can create new asset collections by various means:

* **Create empty Asset Collection**
   shows a list of available asset collection types and then opens the :ref:`CreateAssetCollectionPage` for the selected type.

* **Create Multiple Asset Collections from TriG or Zip File**
   is basically the inverse operation of :ref:`Export_ExportWithIncludesAsAFile`.

The dialog shows additional features as listed below.
Advanced users can add their own plugins into this dialog, using the Asset Collection Constructors extension point, see further reading.
