# Duplicating & Remove a Grouped Collection
These features allow you to quickly duplicate or remove grouped collections based on a simple rule:
* [**When duplicating**](#duplicating-a-grouped-collection): You can flexibly choose to replicate the entire structure along with its internal sub-collections, or just copy an "empty framework" to use as a template for a new group.
* [**When removing**](#remove-grouped-collection): The system only deletes the outer wrapper, with zero risk of affecting or losing your internal sub-collections and original assets.
👉 Below is a step-by-step guide to help you quickly duplicate existing group structures or remove groups that are no longer needed, optimizing your setup time and keeping your workspace clean.
### Duplicating a Grouped Collection
⚠️ **User Right Required:** User must have the permission: **“*****Can View All Grouped Collections***" and "**Can Insert Grouped Collections**".
When you want to create a new group with a structure similar to an existing one:
* Click the three vertical dots **(⋮)** **icon** at the bottom right corner of the Grouped Collection's thumbnail.
* Select **Duplicate Grouped Collections** to open the dialog box.
* Label: **Enter a name** for the new grouped collection.
* "**Duplicate Inner Collections & Categories**" option:
* **If Checked:** The system will copy all sub-collections and the internal category structure into the new group.
* **If Unchecked:** The newly created group will be completely empty, and you will need to manually add sub-collections and categories later.
* Click **Submit** to complete the process.
### Remove Grouped Collection
⚠️ **User Right Required:** User must have the permission: **“*****Can View All Grouped Collections***" and "***Can Remove All Grouped Collections***".
When centralized management is no longer needed, you can dismiss one or multiple structural groups:
* Click to select one or more **Grouped Collections** you wish to delete (or use **Select All** to select all).
* Click the **Remove** button on the toolbar. The system will immediately remove the selected Grouped Collections from the general dashboard.
📌 Note: This action only deletes the "outer wrapper group structure". It will absolutely Not Delete, hide, or affect of the internal sub-collections or their assets.
