Avatars are organized into 'collections' which represents a group of related images you might use in a game. This means you can select a collection when you launch a game and each player will have a custom image avatar! To create a collection, click on the 'New Collection' button. You can then type a name for your collection.

Once you've created the collection, you will want to add some images to it. Drag and drop your image files into the gray rectangle area or alternatively click browse. To make things nice and quick, you can upload many images at once!

You can edit your collection at any time, hover over an image and click the red trash icon to delete it, or add more avatars to your collection by uploading more images.

Now when you launch your game, you can choose the avatar collection by clicking the "Browse" link on the avatars option:

You will notice there is the ability to choose whether to automatically assign the avatars to the players, and whether to allow players with the same avatar.

If you choose to keep the auto-assign disabled, players will get a screen to choose their avatar after entering their name when they join the game:

As you can see, this adds a lot of customization options to your game so you can theme it even further!
