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`.

* **Import Asset Collections from Git**
   makes it possible to create one or more asset collections from RDF files stored in a Git repository,
   assuming Git support has been configured.

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.
