# Load a Collection

**Collections** are repositories of assets. Each collection has specific access permission and its own unique ID.

After logging in, you can see the collection (e.g., "My collection") set in the header or load a new one by clicking the ![](/files/3rWKhXRw7jzmexELe6z3) icon.&#x20;

Hovering over your collection name will show the API key associated with such collection:

By clicking the three dots next to each collection, you can **rename** your collection, set it as **public or private**, set a **credit limit**, enable **lazy loading**, show the **API key** associated with the collection, **export all the data** associated with the collection, or **delete** it entirely.

Lazy loading is enabled by default and ensures your collection load faster, by only loading a thumbnail for each 3D model, that fully renders upon hovering over it.&#x20;
