Collections are a convenient way to gather all your content by themes such as travel, cars, or animal photography. Collections can be comprised of either albums or other collections.
For example, you can keep all your albums documenting different trips organized in a "Vacation" collection--or group monthly albums into a collection labeled with the year.
How to create a collection
If you haven't created any albums yet, you'll need to create an album to get started.
- Hover over You and select Organize.
- Click the Albums & Collections tab.
- From the top-left, click Create a new collection.
- Enter a title and description, then click Create.
Create a collection Mosaic
- Drag your albums into the collection space on the left.
- Click Create Mosaic to set your collection's cover images.
- Make any adjustments you'd like and click Save.
Note:
Make sure your mosaics are made only of safe photos. Including a non-public or unsafe photo in your mosaic might mean other people see it as a gray box.
If you notice that any of your collection mosaics are completely grayed out and contain safe and public photos, your collection may be missing thumbnails. You can head to your Organizr and manually re-set your cover mosaics.
Remove an album from a collection
- Hover over You and select Organize.
- Click the Albums & Collections tab.
- Select a collection and click the drop-down icon to see the albums on that collection.
- Click and drag on the album you want to remove. When you start moving your cursor, you'll see an area appear at the bottom of the page labeled "Drag a set here to remove it from the collection". Drag the album into that area.
Edit or delete a collection
- Hover over You and select Organize.
- Click the Albums & Collections tab.
- Select a collection listed on the left column and you will be able to edit title and description, edit the collection mosaic, open or delete the collection.
View your collections
- Hover over You and select Albums.
- Click View my collections.
- Select the collection you want to view.
