# Open a style from a collection

> Open the styles inside a collection, create a new style there, and find every tab of the style page when you arrive through the Collection menu.

Source: https://docs.vestislabs.com/collection-style/collection-style-tabs/

You can reach a style in two ways: from **Styles** in the left sidebar, or from a collection. Both lead to the same style page with the same tabs. This guide shows how to open the styles of one collection, how to add a style to it, and which tab holds what.

**Where to find it:** Collection & Styles → Collection → View Styles
**Requires:** permission `VIEW_COLLECTION,VIEW_STYLE`

## Open the styles of a collection

1. **Open the Collection Page**
   From the left sidebar, click **Collection & Styles**, then **Collection**.

2. **Open the collection**
   Click the collection's cover picture, or open its three-dot menu and select **View Styles**.

3. **Find your style**
   The **Styles** page lists only the styles of that collection. It works like the main [Style dashboard](https://docs.vestislabs.com/collection-style/style-dashboard/), with the same search, filters, views and actions.

> [!NOTE]
> **View Styles** is only offered if you can view styles. The breadcrumb at the top of the page shows the collection name and **Styles**, so you can return to the collection list from there.

## Add a style to the collection

**Requires:** permission `CREATE_STYLE`

On the **Styles** page of a collection, click **New Style** to open the form that creates a style inside this collection. Next to it, **Create with AI** starts the AI style generator, and **Import** and **History** complete the row. Both need the permission to create styles. The steps for filling in the form are in [Create a new style](https://docs.vestislabs.com/collection-style/create-a-new-style/).

When your plan's style limit is reached, **New Style** is disabled and the page shows a message that the limit has been reached, with a link to upgrade your plan. In the empty state, the page shows **No Style Created** with a **New Style** button.

## The tabs of a style

Click a style to open it. A tab bar runs across the top of the style page, and the style name is shown in the breadcrumb. The **History** button at the right end of the bar shows the changes made to this style.

Some tabs only appear when the feature is turned on for your brand, so you may see fewer tabs than listed here.
