Collections menu

The Collections menu within Private workspace and Team projects in ELITEA serves as your central hub for organizing and managing your Collections. Think of it as your personal workspace for curating sets of related Entities (Prompts, Datasources, and Agents), allowing for efficient access, management, and sharing of your AI resources.

  • Sharing Best Practices: Facilitate sharing and collaboration by grouping best-practice Entities into easily shareable units.
