Introduction
Personalizing Collections in Liferay lets you show different items from the same collection to different audiences—without changing the collection itself. You attach “personalized variations” to user segments, so collection displays (Collection Pages, Collection Display Fragment, Asset Publisher) automatically filter what each visitor sees. Typical uses include member-only offers, regional catalogs, or role-based announcements.

Conclusion
In summary, personalizing Collections through Segments separates content curation from how it is presented. This approach lets a single Collection entity dynamically resolve and provide different content sets based on user context, such as their role or behavior. The Collections Display fragment serves as the rendering endpoint. It uses the segmentation logic to deliver a focused experience with a single, manageable component. This reduces the need for extra assets or code.
