How to Add Workshop Collections to Garry's Mod

Before adding a workshop collection to your server, you will need to firstly create or find a collection on the Steam website. For a detailed guide on how to create a collection, you can find that here.

Adding workshop collections is essential for any server owners looking to play something other than the default Sandbox, on different maps with tons of crazy different addons you can find on the workshop.

Note: Be sure that your Garry's Mod server is fully stopped before making any configuration changes or setting updates!
