# Verifying a new NFT Collection
## Login to our Creator Portal
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
Fill in the search bar with your NFT's ID address or the on-chain Collection 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
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
