# Specify Minting

{% hint style="info" %}
Minting Types are compatible with Placeholder. For instance, you can use Specify Minting along with Placeholder to temporarily hide and reveal the metadata later.
{% endhint %}

Using this minting type, NFTs are minted and chosen by the user. If you don't use a placeholder, it is a way to let your users select the NFTs they like.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Although possible, it is not recommended for extensive collections, as it may make it difficult for the user to choose the desired NFT.
{% endhint %}
