Add links to other related collections on any of your collection pages with Pipeline:

![Each collection can have unique subcollections ](https://894491487-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LovEU3LvzkJzFkXarYD%2F-MdddtAXfGR6mj4xYqLb%2F-MddeyON4T3Ix_0JfFiF%2Fsubcollections-example.gif?alt=media\&token=20d0db4e-e917-4098-88e7-9911af0354c7)

#### How it works

Pipeline uses Shopify's Navigation menu system to bring-in custom menu items into any collection page and displays them as subcollections with a graphical image, collection name and link

#### How to setup

Using the Theme Editor, navigate to collection where you'd like to add subcollection links.

Enable the option to Show subcollections:

![Only required once](https://894491487-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LovEU3LvzkJzFkXarYD%2F-Mde4XpWUm_ag_xkmGgr%2F-Mde5u3JeAyHfUcXWmr1%2FKapture%202021-07-02%20at%2019.03.10.gif?alt=media\&token=c81bca84-a3b9-460d-9eba-e5d66197f67d)

Next, use the link to create a navigation list, the rest is done right in the Shopify Navigation editor.

Create a new menu with same name as your collection:

![Match the handle of your collection with the menu](https://894491487-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LovEU3LvzkJzFkXarYD%2F-MdddtAXfGR6mj4xYqLb%2F-MddjOlV6Ep-Gx_6Flb6%2FScreen%20Shot%202021-07-02%20at%205.18.59%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=c8e81357-8ff8-4629-b4bf-a7403b02c7fd)

Add your menu items, these will be the sub collection links:

![Add other collections as the menu items](https://894491487-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LovEU3LvzkJzFkXarYD%2F-MdddtAXfGR6mj4xYqLb%2F-MddjKhJpmCk8ubfLWr0%2Fsubcollections-nav.gif?alt=media\&token=5ada7f5e-eb2e-4fba-a3d5-eee0b70893e0)

{% hint style="success" %}
Create a new menu for each collection that will have subcollections. Each menu can have unique menu items as the subcollection links
{% endhint %}

#### Collection image

For best results, add a collection image to each of your subcollection collections:

![Collection image is used as the subcollection link image](https://894491487-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LovEU3LvzkJzFkXarYD%2F-MdddtAXfGR6mj4xYqLb%2F-Mddl3HIVufzxJwnJttb%2FScreen%20Shot%202021-07-02%20at%205.27.26%20PM.png?alt=media\&token=56080d7b-1456-4f4c-a065-3b91dddf40b4)
