Instancing whole collection (NOT single parts)

can blender instance a whole collection?
i’m not talking about a collection containing several objects which blender uses as single parts for instancing, this is different: i have a collection which includes a whole construct (incl. animations) which should be treated as a complete “construct” which i can instance then… is that possible? THX!

Yes.

This is the default behavior of Geometry Nodes’s Instance on Points node used in conjunction with the Collection Info node. Just ensure Separate Children option and Pick Instance options are left in their default unchecked state.

Good luck.
