Collections
Collections offer a tool to collect assets from different projects to an asset group, without uploading new assets or duplicating the existing ones. You can add members to the collection for collaboration or sharing, without them being members in the original project, and they won’t see to which project an asset belongs.
Deleting a collection will not delete any assets belonging to it. The deleted collection will be moved to trash bin from which it can be restored or permanently deleted.
Please note, editing assets in a collection equals editing the actual assets.
You may see all your collections on the Latest Collections site, or via Quick Menu on the left.

Quick Menu
Create a collection
Users can create new collections and subprojects. A new collection can be created from the Quick Menu or on the header +Create button.
The collection must always have a title. You can also add a Description.
Subcollections are created directly to the collection or you may move a collection to another collection. Subcollections can be moved to or within a hierarchy by dragging and dropping either to the Collection card or in the breadcrumb trail.
It's also possible to create projects/subprojects on-the-fly when moving assets to a project.
Visibility and sharing
When creating a collection, you may choose collection visibility. Read more on Invite members to project, collection or drop.
Add thumbnail
You may also add a thumbnail image to the collection via Edit.
Add assets to the collection
Once the user has created a collection, assets can be added to the collection with the bulk edit tool or from the collections section in the asset side menu.
You may also create a new collection/subcollection from selected assets on-the-fly
Assets in a collection
When an asset is added to a collection/collections, it will be displayed in the collection section in the side menu. Also, the asset will get an Attribute that displays that it belongs to one or multiple collections.
On the grid view, assets that belong to any collection are indicated with a collection symbol.
Search from collection
By default, if you are inside a collection and use the main search, the search will target the collection you’re currently in. If you want to search the entire database, remove the collection tag from the search field by pressing backspace or clicking the X icon.
