Help! I can't find my drafts.

To get to your set drafts, click on the 'Sets' tab in the editor and then select 'Drafts.'

How can I add music to my set? Can I upload my own music?

You can add music to your set by clicking the 'Music' link in the editor. You can search by Artist or Song. Unfortunately, you cannot upload your own music.

How can I add text to my set? How can I change the text color?

Add text to your set by clicking on the 'Text' link in the editor. First, choose the font you like and then edit the pre-populated text box with your chosen text. If you want to change the text color, click the arrow next to the color grid and choose a color.

How do I create a collection?

Collections are a great way to group your favorite sets and items. For example, you can use collections to help organize your sets by theme.

To create a new collection, click on the Create a collection link on My Home. This will bring you to the collection editor, where you can create and edit your collections. Simply drag any items or sets from the right side to the canvas on the left, then hit "Publish" to publish your collection to the world.

You can also add items or sets to collections from the item page and the set page by clicking Add to collection.

How do I edit the name of my collection?

From the collection page, click on 'Edit this collection'. Click the 'Publish' button and edit the Collection Title. Then click 'Publish'.

Why is my set hidden?

Sometimes we get requests to take images down. If that image happens to be in your set, your set will become hidden. You can republish the set by either removing the invalid item or replacing it.

Why do my sets appear to shrink when I publish them?

The basic format for a Polyvore set is the shape of a square. If you create your collage in other shapes, such as a rectangle, the images in your set will shrink to fit the shape of a square. Also, sometimes when items are rotated, the white space around them alters and may go outside the boundaries of a square shape, which will also cause your sets to shrink.

How do I post my set to Facebook?

After you've created your set and you're ready to publish your set, you'll have the option to post your set to Facebook. Just click the box and hit the 'Publish' button.

What are templates?

Templates are pre-arranged patterns that you can fill in to make a set and they're simple to create! They make it easier and faster to create sets, and are also helpful for newer members who are just getting the hang of making sets.

To Create a template, click on the arrow next to the 'Create' link at the top of your page and select 'a template.' Once you're in the editor, click on the 'Add Placeholder' button. Add in as many placeholders as you'd like and then click 'Publish template.' After it's published, people can create sets based off of your template.

You can also find templates in our template gallery. Click on the 'Create a set' link at the top of your page and then click on the 'Templates' tab.
