How to add a collection
You can start a collection manually, or upload a CSV file.
Start manually
1. Click + Add collection and select Start manually.

2. In the pop-up enter the Collection name. If you wish to set up the TTL as well, click Set up TTL and enter the following values:
- TTL duration (num) – enter the number of duration.
- Unit – select whether the duration will be measured in hours or days.
- Reference point – define when the countdown starts:
- From creation date – the countdown begins from the exact date/time the document was first created.
- From last edit – the countdown begins from the exact date/time the document was first updated.
3. Click Add collection.

You'll get an empty collection which can be populated with documents.

Tip:
You can always set up the TTL later by clicking the three dots on the collection and selecting Set TTL.
Upload CSV
You can upload a CSV file where each sheet line becomes a separate document.
Note:
To upload a CSV file:
1. Click + Add collection and select Upload CSV.

2. In the pop-up, from the Select collection dropdown, select whether to populate an already existing collection, or upload the file as an entirely new one.
3. Enter the Collection name.
4. Upload a CSV file from your computer.

5. After uploading the CSV file, you'll be asked to define the CSV delimiter and Select a column for document names. The CSV parser analyzes your file's header row and offers two ways to handle document keys:
- Autogenerated – Stape Store automatically assigns a random, unique identifier to each imported row.
- Custom column – you can map a specific column from your CSV file to serve as the document key. In this case, the values in that column become the unique identifiers for the corresponding documents.
