The video tutorial explains how to create and manage relation fields in an OST collection type, focusing on author and tag relations. It covers the process of adding these relations in the admin panel, discussing the types of relations such as one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding when to use one-sided versus two-sided relations and provides a recap of the different relation types and their applications.
