Is there a simple way to point to a local image file to change the default collection posters? Ex: The posters for the various universe collections, IMDb top250, etc.

as in using the assets?
you can either use assets, or if it's just a few collections you want to use, then you can set the poster with - file_poster_<<key>>: template_variables for each collection / default

I'm not familiar with the assets outside of knowing it's a directory to store things. Also not familiar with the use of key. I was hoping there was just a template variable that lets you specify - file_poster: config/poster/poster.png or something. I think the wiki shows a URL option but I have local files.
However, I changed the poster within Plex and re-ran Kometa, and that didn't appear to wipe out the poster. So I guess that's the easiest option.

There is. That’s the variable I mention. If you use that variable without the key, then every collection in that “default group” will have the same poster
Each default typically has a subset of collection(s), each of these has a key. Each lager in the wiki for the default collections, lists all the keys

Thank you! I understand now and just tested this successfully. I'm about to attempt the same for the universe and franchises, as I assume it behaves the same. Follow up question - I have posters in config/posters. Should I be using the assets folder / is there a benefit to that?
vivid breach
Depends on what you call a benefit.
You can use assets in the sense that you always know what your poster will be. If you wanna change posters, it’s just as easy as putting a new file in the folder
granite stump
But does the assets folder have a special native function compared to throwing poster files in any other folder?

It's another way to do that. "Star Wars always gets this poster here".
