+See "collections":{{site.baseurl}}/api/methods/collections.html
+
+h3. Conditions of creating a Collection
+
+The @uuid@ and @manifest_text@ attributes must be provided when creating a Collection. The cryptographic digest of the supplied @manifest_text@ must match the supplied @uuid@.
+
+h3. Side effects of creating a Collection
+
+Referenced data can be protected from garbage collection. See the section about "resources" links on the "Links":Link.html page.
+
+Data can be shared with other users via the Arvados permission model.
+
+Clients can request checks of data integrity and storage redundancy.
+
+h2. Resource
+
+Each collection has, in addition to the usual "attributes of Arvados resources":{{site.baseurl}}/api/resources.html:
+
+table(table table-bordered table-condensed).
+|_. Attribute|_. Type|_. Description|_. Example|
+|name|string|||
+|description|text|||
+|portable_data_hash|string|||
+|manifest_text|text|||
+|replication_desired|number|Minimum storage replication level desired for each data block referenced by this collection. A value of @null@ signifies that the site default replication level (typically 2) is desired.|@2@|
+|replication_confirmed|number|Replication level most recently confirmed by the storage system. This field is null when a collection is first created, and is reset to null when the manifest_text changes in a way that introduces a new data block. An integer value indicates the replication level of the _least replicated_ data block in the collection.|@2@, null|
+|replication_confirmed_at|datetime|When replication_confirmed was confirmed. If replication_confirmed is null, this field is also null.||
