What are Collections?

Collections are a way of grouping similar Assets together that have a common theme, in order to make the Assets more accessible and easier to manage. **For example:** * Collection "Photo of project 06/06/2024" * "Site Graphics 2024" Collection

## How to Create a Collection Assets can be added to Collections by: #### 1️⃣ During Upload Selecting a Collection in the '[Asset Details'](https://support.hivo.co/assets/upload-assets) step in the uploading process. This will add all Assets to the Collection.

#### 2️⃣ Through [Library Actions](https://support.hivo.co/library/library-actions) Use the ‘Edit Collection’ function to add or remove selected assets from specified Collections. Navigate to Library => Select Asset => Choose 'Action' => Edit Collection.

#### 3️⃣ From the Asset Details page Going into an [Asset’s Detail page](https://support.hivo.co/assets/asset-detail-page) => Related tab => Select the Collection you want to add.

Edit Collection through Asset Detail Page

#### 4️⃣ Use [Automatic Collections](https://support.hivo.co/collections/automated-collections) The system can automatically create Collections based on criteria created by admin accounts to help facilitate the process of creating themed Collections. ## How to search for Collections that you have permission to view * Click the image icon on the left navigation bar. * Enter the Collection name in the search bar (case-insensitive) to search by name. * Click the down arrow on the 'Search bar' to filter by favorite Collections or by date created/updated. * Click a Collection to view the [Collection Details page.](https://support.hivo.co/collections/collection-detail-page)

## Other functions on the Collection Details page #### Refresh Updates the Collections list to show the latest changes, for example, if another user just created a new Collection. #### Toggle Category View Categories are tags that can be added to Collections from their Settings. The category view will group Collections in a hierarchical form by these categories, which can be useful when organizing a large amount of Collections. To install, navigate to the '[Collection Detail page](https://support.hivo.co/collections/collection-detail-page)' => 3 dots icon => Details => Edit Info. You can also create categories while uploading assets.

An example category setup might be ‘Brand’ + project name, which will nest the different projects inside the mockups category. #### Create New Collection Create a new Collection and assign related Categories (if any). Once created, click New Collection to enter the Details page and use the 3-dot icon to view and edit additional settings.
