-## Collection editor plugin
+# FireCMS Collection Editor Plugin
+
+This plugin enables creating and managing Firestore collections directly from your FireCMS interface. It adds a visual
+collection editor that allows you to create, edit, and delete collections without writing code.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+npm install @firecms/collection_editor
+# or
+yarn add @firecms/collection_editor
+```
+
+For Firebase integration, also install:
+
+```bash
+npm install @firecms/collection_editor_firebase
+# or
+yarn add @firecms/collection_editor_firebase
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- Create and edit collections through a visual interface
+- Define properties, validations, and display options
+- Organize collections with groups and subcollections
+- Merge UI-defined collections with code-defined collections
+- Persist collection configurations in Firestore
+- Control permissions for collection editing operations
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+```tsx
+import React from "react";
+import { FireCMS } from "@firecms/core";
+import { useCollectionEditorPlugin } from "@firecms/collection_editor";
+import { useFirestoreCollectionsConfigController } from "@firecms/collection_editor_firebase";
+
+export default function App() {
+    // Controller to save collection configs in Firestore
+    const collectionConfigController = useFirestoreCollectionsConfigController({
+        firebaseApp
+    });
+    
+    // Initialize the collection editor plugin
+    const collectionEditorPlugin = useCollectionEditorPlugin({
+        collectionConfigController
+    });
+    
+    const navigationController = useBuildNavigationController({
+        // Your other config options
+        plugins: [collectionEditorPlugin]
+    });
+    
+    return <FireCMS
+        name={"My CMS"}
+        navigationController={navigationController}
+        authentication={myAuthenticator}
+        firebaseConfig={firebaseConfig}
+    />;
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+You can customize collection editor behavior with these options:
+
+```tsx
+const collectionEditorPlugin = useCollectionEditorPlugin({
+    collectionConfigController, // Required: controller that handles persistence
+    
+    // Define permissions for collection operations
+    configPermissions: ({ user }) => ({
+        createCollections: user.roles?.includes("admin") ?? false,
+        editCollections: user.roles?.includes("admin") ?? false,
+        deleteCollections: user.roles?.includes("admin") ?? false
+    }),
+    
+    // Prevent these group names from being used
+    reservedGroups: ["admin", "system"],
+    
+    // Optional custom view to add to the editor
+    extraView: {
+        View: MyCustomView,
+        icon: <CustomIcon />
+    },
+    
+    // Function to infer collection structure from existing data
+    collectionInference: async ({ path }) => {
+        // Return inferred schema based on data at path
+    },
+    
+    // Function to get sample data for a collection
+    getData: async (path, parentPaths) => {
+        // Return sample data for the specified path
+    },
+    
+    // Track collection editor events
+    onAnalyticsEvent: (event, params) => {
+        console.log("Collection editor event:", event, params);
+    },
+    
+    // Include introduction widget when no collections exist
+    includeIntroView: true
+});
+```
+
+## Integration with Code-Defined Collections
+
+You can combine collections defined in code with those created in the UI:
+
+```tsx
+import { mergeCollections } from "@firecms/collection_editor";
+
+const collectionsBuilder = useCallback(() => {
+    // Collections defined in code
+    const codeCollections = [productsCollection, ordersCollection];
+    
+    // Merge with collections from the editor UI
+    return mergeCollections(codeCollections, collectionConfigController.collections ?? []);
+}, [collectionConfigController.collections]);
+
+const navigationController = useBuildNavigationController({
+    collections: collectionsBuilder,
+    // Other options
+});
+```
+
+## Firestore Configuration Controller
+
+To persist collections in Firestore:
+
+```tsx
+const collectionConfigController = useFirestoreCollectionsConfigController({
+    firebaseApp,
+    
+    // Optional: specify where to save configs (default: "__FIRECMS/config/collections")
+    configPath: "custom/config/path",
+    
+    // Optional: define permissions for collections
+    permissions: ({ user }) => ({
+        // Your permissions logic
+    }),
+    
+    // Optional: custom property configurations
+    propertyConfigs: [
+        // Custom property types
+    ]
+});
+```
+
+## Additional Notes
+
+- Collections created through the editor are stored in Firestore and loaded dynamically
+- The plugin automatically adds UI elements for creating and managing collections
+- For a complete solution, consider using alongside other plugins like data import/export
+
+## Related Plugins
+
+FireCMS offers several complementary plugins:
+
+- Data Import: Import data from CSV or JSON into Firestore collections
+- Data Export: Export collection data to CSV or JSON formats
+- Data Enhancement: Generate content using AI for your collections
+- Entity History: Track changes to your collection entities
