Exploring your Collection

It is very important to closely examine your collection before inscribing to make sure there are no mistakes. In this section we discuss some of the features GeneratOrd has that make it easy to explore your collection.
If you navigate to the Collection Tab of your collection, you will see a preview of your entire collection.
To jump to a specific Token ID, simply enter a number in the ID input in the top left, and press Go. The page will scroll down to bring that item into view.
Filtering is very useful to find all the items with specific traits, helping you to identify potential issues with your collection.
To filter your collection, simply click the Filter button in the top left corner.
This will open up the filter as a side pane on the left. Here you can open up each trait type, and filter by any trait you want. You can also apply the Favourites filter, to show just the items you have favourited. There is also a filter in each trait type called None, which will show all the items that do not have that trait type. Underneath the filter button, it will show you how many items match the filter you have applied. In the screenshot below, we can see there are 75 items with Tiger Stripe. This can be used to check that your trait rarities are correct.
If you apply two or more filters from the same trait type, it will show all items that match any of the filters. For example, below we have the Yellow and Slate head filters, and it is showing all items that have either a Yellow or Slate head.
If you apply two or more filters across different trait types, it will show all items that match all the filters. For example, below we have applied the Collared Shirt and Fire Eyes filters, and it is showing only the items that have both Collared Shirt and Fire Eyes traits.
In the top right of the collection page, you can toggle on or off Quick Load.
With Quick Load On: Each item is shown as a set of images (traits) stacked on top of each other, but the traits are not 'flattened' down into a single image. This means that if you try to right click and save the image, you will end only saving the top (foreground) trait, since you can only click the top trait (this is NOT how the final inscriptions behave). Additionally, the images are not displayed at their full resolution, but are rendered as the size shown (probably around 500px). These simplifications greatly improve the load time of the images, providing you with a seamless experience as you scroll through the collection, filter it, edit items and regenerate the collection.
With Quick Load Off: A complete simulation of the final inscriptions is shown for each item. This means that the full HTML/Javascript code, along with the compressed metadata is all compiled and executed for each item to display the images. This is useful to see how the inscriptions will actually look like once inscribed, and to make certain there are no issues with the collection. The images will still load relatively quickly, but when doing certain editing such as regenerating, it can take a bit longer to load because it has to recompile and regenerate all the images simultaneously.
The majority of the time, you will want quick load on, but it is worth turning it off before you inscribe to get an idea for how the inscriptions will actually look, and make certain there are no unexpected issues. Turning off quick load also gives an indication of how long it will take your images to load on explorers once inscribed, since it shows a full simulation of the inscriptions.
Most likely, you will not notice any visual difference compared to when quick load was on.
