+
+The first argument passed to `create_collection` determines which type of collection view to create. In the above example, a "table" is created, but other supported options are:
+1. list
+2. board
+3. calendar
+4. timeline
+5. gallery
+
+## Updating Collection View Cells
+When you retrieve a `CollectionViewRow` instance with `.row(<row_id>)` or a list of `CollectionViewRow` instances with `.rows`, a handful of methods are created. Each row instance has access attributes that represent the properties in the Notion Collection View. So, let's say we are working with the following Notion Collection View:
+| emoji | description  | category            | aliases | tags    | unicode_version | ios_version |
+|-------|--------------|---------------------|---------|---------|-----------------|-------------|
+| 😉     | "winking face" | "Smileys & Emotion" | "wink"  | "flirt" | "6.0"           | "6.0"       |
+
+If you wanted to update the unicode and ios versions, you could use the following code:
+```ruby
+>>> collection_view = @page.get_collection("1234567") # the ID of the collection block is 1234567
+>>> rows = collection_view.rows
+>>> row[0].unicode_version = "updated version here!"
+>>> row[0].ios_version = "I was updated too!"
+```
+Now, your Collection View will look like this:
+| emoji | description  | category            | aliases | tags    | unicode_version | ios_version |
+|-------|--------------|---------------------|---------|---------|-----------------|-------------|
+| 😉     |   "winking face"   | "Smileys & Emotion" | "wink"  | "flirt" | "updated version here!"          | "I was updated too!" |
+
+You can also add new rows with the `.add_row({<data!>})` method and add new properties with the `.add_property("name_of_property", "type_of_property")` method.
+
+**One important thing to be aware of:**
+When adding a row with `.add_row`, the hash of data passed must be in the same order as it appears in your Notion Collection View.
+## Troubleshooting
+### No results returned when attempting to get a page
+If an empty hash is returned when you attempt to retrieve a Notion page, you'll need to include the `x-notion-active-user-header` when instantiating the Notion Client.
+The endpoint used by this wrapper to load a page is `/loadPageChunk`, check out the request headers in your developer tools Network tab.
+
+From here, you can instantiate the Notion Client with the following code:
+```ruby
+>>> @client = NotionAPI::Client.new(
+  "<insert_v2_token_here>",
+  "<insert_x_notion_active_user_header_here>"
+)
+```
+### Retrieve a full-page Collection View
+Currently, either a "normal" Page URL or the Page Block ID is accepted to the `get_page` method. Therefore, if you pass the full URL to the CV Table, it will raise an error:
+```text
+the URL or ID passed to the get_page method must be that of a Page Block.
+```
+To avoid this, you must pass only the ID of the full-page collection-view to the `get_page` method. This is next up on the features list, so passing the full URL will be supported soon:smile:
