Organize your spaces and group related ones together using collections

Collections

Collections are groups of spaces focused around a specific topic, team or purpose. You can think of them as a folder for your spaces.

Collections allow you to:

  • organize your content by similar topics or ideas
  • manage space permissions at scale by allowing you to override the organization-level defaults
  • customize your group of spaces and publish them as variants (see collection publishing for more info).

The main view of a collection, with other collections and spaces inside.

Create a collection

Click the + button next to the Documentation 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.

You can create a collection from the sidebar, or from within another collection.

Move a collection

You can move a collection by opening the Action menu Three vertical dots, 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 admin role 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 Three vertical dots and then choose its new location. Alternatively, you can drag and drop the collection to its new location.

{% hint style="warning" %} Note: When you publish the primary collection, nested collections do not show up as variants. {% endhint %}

How to delete a collection

You can delete a collection by opening it’s Action menu Three vertical dots and selecting Delete.

{% hint style="danger" %} 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. {% endhint %}
