## Seasons – admin setup

Seasons will help you group and track your work when creating a style and collection in Vestis Labs. Seasons act as a parameter to structure your styles and organise your data across collections. You can create as many seasons as needed based on your workflow and planning.

## Introduction & best practice

Based on your collection structure, you can create seasons in Vestis Labs to organise styles or collections and maintain a clear overview that aligns with your seasonal development timelines.

## Step-by-step guide

## Create a season

**Where to find it:** Settings → Collection & Style → Seasons

Navigate to: Settings \> Collection & Style \> Seasons, then click **New**.

- **Name** - \*mandatory
- **Status** - **Active** or **Archived**. This is useful for organising seasonal drops, collections, or any other subcategories for the active or inactive status within a season's timeframe
- **Set as current season** - Marks this season as the active one your team is working on. Any new collections or styles you create will automatically be assigned to this season. The box is switched off and cannot be checked while the status is **Archived**.
- Click **Create** to finish
