# Verifying a new NFT Collection

Head to our [Creator Portal](https://create.tensor.trade/) and sign up with your email.

## Find your Collection

Search for your collection via the NFT's ID/Address or the Collection's ID

## Legacy or Compressed

If your collection contains cNFTs (compressed NFTs), select Compressed. If not, then select Legacy.

## Identification Method

Tensor has 3 main ways of grouping up your individual NFTs into a collection

1. Metaplex Certified Collection (on-chain Collection ID)
2. First Verified Creator&#x20;
3. Hashlist

By default, your collection's identification method should be pre-selected. If there's any issues you can manually switch to another option.

## Filling in Collection Details

Tensor automatically captures all the on-chain data for your collection. Double check if there are any mistakes and fill in any missing data.

* Collection Name
* Collection Slug/URL (tensor.trade/trade/**slug**)
* Collection Symbol
* Description
* Collection Image (Logo)
* Socials
  * Twitter (X)
  * Discord (no vanity links, these can be stolen!)
  * Website
