# Effortless Document Collection for Any Need

[**Get started with Zipwire Collect →**](https://zipwire.io/collect)

Zipwire Collect takes the hassle out of gathering information, streamlining document collection for any scenario - from a single proof of address to a full compliance onboarding with dozens of conditional documents.

Rather than one long feature list, we've split the platform's ideas across a handful of short pages so you can go at your own pace. Here's the order we'd suggest:

* [**Get Started**](/zipwire-collect/get-started.md) - sign up and create your first collection.
* [**Lifecycle of a Collection**](/zipwire-collect/lifecycle-of-a-collection.md) - how a collection is created, opened, nudged along and closed.
* [**Using Packs**](/zipwire-collect/using-packs.md) - the building block for grouping documents, setting completion rules, nesting packs, and adding conditional logic.
* [**Manual Entry**](/zipwire-collect/manual-entry-for-streamlined-information-gathering.md) - collect forms, codes, and confirmations alongside documents.
* [**Machine Vision**](/zipwire-collect/machine-vision.md) - automatic document identification and field extraction.
* [**Document Inspection**](/zipwire-collect/document-inspection.md) - the range of review types, from fully automated to in-person, plus document freshness rules.
* [**What the Respondent Sees at Their End**](/zipwire-collect/what-the-respondent-sees-at-their-end.md) - how your carefully nested packs flatten into a simple list for your respondent.
* [**UK Right to Rent Template**](/zipwire-collect/uk-right-to-rent-template.md) - a worked example showing conditional logic and nested packs in action.
* [**Bulk Upload**](/zipwire-collect/bulk-upload.md) - respondents can send a whole folder of files at once.
* [**Creating a Collection with AI**](/zipwire-collect/creating-a-collection-with-ai.md) - describe what you need in plain language and let AI draft the collection.
* [**Sign It Once, Prove It Forever**](/zipwire-collect/signable-documents-cryptographic-proof.md) - attach a document for signature and get cryptographic proof that doesn't depend on Zipwire.
* [**IDSP, IDVT, KYC, KYB and AML**](/zipwire-collect/idsp-idvt-kyc-kyb-and-aml.md) - compliance-grade identity and business checks, including Yoti-powered selfie checks.

**Zipwire Collect goes beyond simple document collection, offering a feature-rich platform that saves you time, reduces errors, and ensures a smooth experience for everyone.**
