# Create a new collection

`POST /helpcenter/collections`

Create a new help center collection. `project`, `docId` and `lexorank` are assigned by the server and
ignored if sent. When `parent` is set, `baseAudienceFilter` is inherited from the parent collection (any
value sent is overwritten) and an unknown `parent` returns 404.
