# Manage Zeitgeist Collators

{% hint style="info" %}
If you wish to change the Collator which you are staking with, you first need to unstake from your existing Collator. 
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Collators can often vary in their performance. This ultimately can affect the amount of staking rewards that you earn from delegating to them. As such, Nova Wallet recommends that you monitor your Collator's performance on a semi-frequent basis.
{% endhint %}

You can change the Collator which you stake with at any time:

1. Open the Nova Wallet application.
2. `Select` the **Staking** **screen**.
3. `Select` your staking position, in this case, would be **Zeitgeist** **ZTG**.
4. From the **Zeitgeist** **staking** **screen** `select` "**Your** **collators**".
5. From the Your collators screen `select` **Change**.
6. If you wish to change your Collator, you should now `select` **Unstake**.
7. `Input` the amount of tokens that you wish to unstake, in this case likely you will want to unstake all of your tokens.
8. Once you are happy with the amount you are unstaking`select` **Continue**.
9. Review the contextual information including any associated fees and `select` **Confirm**.
10. You must now wait for the unstaking period to finish [How to Unstake Your ZTG](/nova-wallet-wiki/staking/zeitgeist-ztg-staking/how-to-unstake-your-ztg.md) and then start staking again with a new collator [Zeitgeist (ZTG) Staking](/nova-wallet-wiki/staking/zeitgeist-ztg-staking.md)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.novawallet.io/nova-wallet-wiki/staking/zeitgeist-ztg-staking/manage-zeitgeist-collators.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
