Collections

Organize your spaces into folders.

Collections are a way to group spaces together to make it easier for you to organize your content. With collections, you can:

  • organize your content by similar topics or ideas

  • manage space at scale by allowing you to override the organization-level defaults.

Create a collection

Click the + button next to the Spaces header in the sidebar to create a new collection. You can also create a collection or space within another collection from the collection’s main page.

Move a collection

You can move a collection by opening the Actions menu , selecting Move collection to… and choosing a destination. Alternatively, you can drag and drop collections in the sidebar to move or reorder them. You can move collections into other collections — or even to other organizations, if you have an in both.

Nested collections

You can nest collections inside each other, creating a collection -> sub-collection -> space hierarchy.

Open a collection and you can click New collection from the collection’s main page to create a sub-collection.

To move one collection into another, click Move collection to… from the collection’s Action menu and then choose its new location. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the collection to its new location.

How to delete a collection

You can delete a collection by opening its Actions menu and selecting Delete.

Deleting a collection is final, but spaces inside a deleted collection will move to the Trash and can be restored up to seven days after deletion. You can access the Trash from the bottom of the sidebar.
