# Remove Asset(s) from Collection(s)

This feature allows you to flexibly manage your asset locations, enabling you to simultaneously remove assets from old collections and organize them. Whether you are in the Library or Collections view, the process remains the same.

⚠️ **User Right Required**: **Can Edit Collection Contents** and **Can Share Collections** - User can **add asset to or remove asset from Collections**, if they have "Share" permission on both the Collections and the Assets.

#### 🔹 Step 1: Select Assets

* Access your library or Collections
* Select one or multiple assets by ticking the checkbox at the corner of each asset.
* To select all visible assets, use the **“Select All”** in the right corner of the screen, next to the Download option.

* The Edit Collections (n) dialog will appear (where *n* represents the number of assets being edited).

* **(Optional) Add to Collections**: If you want to move these assets to a new location immediately, you can select additional collections in this field.
  * Choose from an existing collection you want to **add** the assets.
  * If you have permission, you can also **create a new Collection** from within this dialog.

#### 🔹 Step 4: Customize Folder Paths

Before finishing, choose how the system should handle the asset folder structure during the move:

* **Flatten Folder Paths:** Removes all existing folder structures. Assets will be moved to the destination collection without any subfolders.
* **Copy Folder Paths:** Retains the current folder structure when moving to the new collection.
* **New Folder Paths:** Moves assets to a custom folder path that you define.

Then, click **“Submit”** to confirm and update the asset Collection assignments.
