How to Use Sheet Collections

The Sefaria Sheet Editor allows users to create their own compilations of texts and media, such as music, images, or videos. These compilations are then saved within the Voices on Sefaria platform. Source sheets can be organized as collections, and these can have one or more authors. 

Note: You must have a Sefaria account to create Sheets and Collections. Creating a Sefaria account is free.
