The **C1Gauge.CoverShapes Collection Editor**, **C1LinearGauge.CoverShapes Collection Editor**, and **C1RadialGauge.CoverShapes Collection Editor** allow you to add, remove, and edit items in the [CoverShapes](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) collection. You can access the **CoverShapes Collection Editor** by selecting the **Edit Cover Shapes** option from the [C1Gauge Tasks menu](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/designtimesupport/c1gaugetasksmenu) or from the [C1Gauge context menu](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/designtimesupport/c1gaugecontextmenu) or [C1LinearGauge and C1RadialGauge context menus](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/designtimesupport/c1lineargaugeandc1ra) or by clicking the **ellipses** button next to the **CoverShapes** item in **C1Gauge**, **C1LinearGauge**, or **C1RadialGauge**'s Properties window.

Once open, the **CoverShapes Collection Editor** will appear similar to the following image:
