It is possible to add NFTs to an already published/existing collection. It does not matter if it was created via Web UI, or the command line tool

- [x] Requires PIN
- [x] Costs: Nothing
- [x] No Trial Run available
- [x] Alias:  `continue`  

```shell
$> signumart-massup collection pull -h

Usage: signumart-massup collection pull|continue [options]

Pulls existing collection information to continue on adding new NFTs

Options:
  -h, --help  display help for command

```

This command asks you for your collection Id and then checks if you are the creator.  It creates a folder according the collections name,  a collection meta data file, and the CSV template called `00000.nfts.csv`.  This command does not create/download the banner images!

:::hint{type="info"}
To get your Collection Id just visit the collection on https\://signumart.io and copy the numeric part from the url:

Example: `https://signumart.io/collection/14550882303773965593`
