A long gear list is easier to use with some structure. A build video can easily end up with tools, materials, finishes and hardware all in one list, and a viewer looking for one item should not have to scroll through everything. This walkthrough covers the tools MakerManifest has for organizing a list: sections, ownership labels and the list or grid layout.
Add Sections to a Long List
Sections let you group products under headings inside one list. Sections are a Premium feature.
Move Items Into Sections
Once your sections exist, you move items between them. If you started with one long list, this is how you sort it out without starting over.
I Own This or I Recommend This
You can mark each product as I Own This or I Recommend This. That tells viewers the difference between gear you use yourself and gear you think is a good pick. The ownership labels are on paid plans.
List or Grid Layout
Finally, you can switch the public page between a list and a grid. A grid shows off product images, and a list is quicker to scan when there are a lot of items.
Recorded on a Demo Account
The list in the video is on a demo account, so the products are examples.
If you are just getting started, begin with building your first gear list. Once your list is organized, see the ways to share it or add it to your Bio Links page. If you already have lists somewhere else, the import walkthrough shows how to bring them in instead of retyping them. If you are comparing gear list tools, or looking for an alternative to kit.co or an Amazon storefront, this is how product lists are organized in MakerManifest. The how it works post has more on the basics.
