Use collections

Collections are the best tool when you want a stable home for a set of related saves.

Examples:

• A client project
• A trip you are planning
• Recipes for a dinner party
• Articles for a team meeting

Create a collection

1. Open My Collections in the sidebar.
2. Click Create Collection.
3. Give it a clear name, and a short description if it will help later.

Use names that still make sense a month from now.

Add saves to a collection

You can add a save while creating it, or any time after:

1. Open the save’s ⋯ options menu and choose Add to Collection.
2. Start typing the collection name and pick it from the list.
3. Confirm.

A save can belong to more than one collection, and tags still work on it as usual. To move a whole batch into a collection at once, select multiple saves and use Add to Collection in the bulk actions bar.

Add notes inside a collection

Collections are more than folders — each item in a collection can carry its own note, so the reason you saved something stays close to the link:

1. Open the collection.
2. Click Add note on an item and write your note. Use Edit note or Remove note later to change it.

Use collection notes for:

• Why the save matters
• What to do with it next
• The quote or section to revisit

Reorder saves inside a collection

Items in a collection stay in the order you give them. Use the Move item up and Move item down arrows on any item to arrange the list.

This is especially useful for:

• Reading queues
• Meeting prep
• Recipes you plan to cook soon
• Step-by-step research lists

Collections or tags?

Use a collection when the group itself matters: a fixed set of saves with a description, notes, and manual ordering. Choose tags when you want one save to belong to many ideas at once. The comparison table in Use tags breaks it down.
