## Collection Defaults
See the [Collection Defaults](collections.md) Page for more information on the specifics of the Collection Defaults.
## Overlay Defaults
See the [Overlay Defaults](overlays.md) Page for more information on the specifics of the Overlay Defaults.
## Configurations
To run a default KometCollection or Overlay file you can simply add it to your `collection_files` (For Collection Files)
To run a default Kometa Collection or Overlay file you can simply add it to your `collection_files` (For Collection Files)

## Customizing Configs
## Customizing these defaults
Configs can be customized using the `template_variables` attribute when calling the file.
These template variables can be used to customize individual colelctions/overlays or the set as a whole.
A given default may have variables that are specific to it, and may also leverage a common set of shared template variables. These lists are shown on each default file's wiki page.
Configs can be customized using the `template_variables` attribute when calling the file. These `template_variables`
will be given to every template call in the file which allows them to affect how that file runs.
## Customizing individual components
For collections, this example disables two keys, which will prevent those collections from being created. It also sets
the visibility of one of the keys so that it is visible on the library tab, the server owner's homescreen and shared
user's homescreens (assuming they server owner and/or the shared users have the library pinned to their homescreen)
Each default file uses "keys" to refer to the collections and overlays that it creates, and you can use those keys to modify the behavior of the defaults file.
For overlays, this example changes the ratings overlay to apply to episodes rather than shows.
For, example, the IMDB default creates three collections, each with their own "key":
| Collection | Key |
|:--------------------|:----------|
| `IMDb Popular` | `popular` |
| `IMDb Top 250` | `top` |
| `IMDb Lowest Rated` | `lowest` |
You use that key to customize the individual collection or overlay.
This example disables two keys, which will prevent those collections from being created. It also sets
the visibility of one of the keys [`top`] so that it is visible on the library tab, the server owner's homescreen and shared
user's homescreens (assuming the server owner and/or the shared users have the library pinned to their homescreen)
It also changes the resolution overlay to skip applying the overlay to 480p movies.
The template variables in this example happen to be all shared template variables.
```yaml
libraries:
Movies:
collection_files:
- default: imdb
template_variables:
use_popular: false # turn off the 'popular' key
use_lowest: false # turn off the 'lowest' key
visible_library_top: true # set visibilities for the 'top' key
visible_home_top: true
visible_shared_top: true
overlay_files:
- default: resolution
template_variables:
use_480p: false # turn off the '480p' key
```
## Customizing the set as a whole
In addition to the keys, each default can be customized with other template variables that are not key-specific.
This example uses a file-specific variable to change the order of all the IMDB chart collections to alphabetical by title and a shared variable to schedule these IMDB collections to be run only on Wednesdays.
For the overlays, it uses a file-specific variable to disable all the "edition" overlays and a shared variable to align the overlay on the right side of the poster.
```yaml
libraries:

visible_library_top: true
visible_home_top: true
visible_shared_top: true
collection_order: alpha # file-specific variable sets sort order

Each file has a page on the wiki showing the available `template_variables` for each file. For example the default
`default: ratings` has a page [here](overlays/ratings.md).
All of the default files are customized in this basic fashion.
**NOTE: this `template_variable` system is specific to the defaults. If and when you start creating your own [collection](../files/collections.md) or [overlay](../files/overlays.md) files, you cannot use this `template_variables` setup unless you specifically write your files to implement it.**
Each of these default files has a page on the wiki showing its keys, available `template_variables`, and default settings. For example, the default overlay `default: resolution` has a page [here](overlays/resolution.md).
The shared template variables can be reviewed here for [Collections](collection_variables.md) and [Overlays](overlay_variables.md). These are also linked from each default file's wiki page.
## Collection Defaults
See the [Collection Defaults](collections.md) Page for more information on the specifics of the Collection Defaults.
## Overlay Defaults
See the [Overlay Defaults](overlays.md) Page for more information on the specifics of the Overlay Defaults.
**In addition to the defined `template_variables` almost all default Collection and Overlay files have access to their
respective [Collection](collection_variables.md)/[Overlay](overlay_variables.md) Shared Variables.**
