Collections

Group your images and videos into collections, like folders. Nest them, pin them, and share them with your team.

A collection is a folder for your images and videos. One item can sit in many collections. Click Collections in the left sidebar to see yours.

In your personal workspace the page has All and Pinned tabs. In a team workspace: All, My collections, Shared by you, Shared with me and Pinned. Switch between grid and list layout at the top.

Use the tabs to switch between your collections and shared ones.

Create a collection

1. On the Collections page, click Create.

2. Type a Name, up to 64 characters.

3. To put it inside another collection, click Choose location and pick the parent.

4. Click Create.

When you start a collection from the picker while saving images, the button reads Create and add. That creates the collection and adds the images in one step.

Add images

You can add items from three places.

Save new images to a collection while you generate

Every app, Image and Video included, has an Add to Collection field next to Generate.

1. Click the Add to Collection field.

2. Pick a collection.

3. Generate. The results save into it.

Click the x to clear the field.

Add several images from Assets

1. In Assets, select several items. See Assets and Likes.

2. Click Add to collection in the bar at the bottom.

3. Pick collections in the picker, as below.

Add one image

1. Open the image.

2. Click Add to collection in the action bar.

3. Pick collections in the picker, as below.

You can also find Add to collection under More options → Manage.

Use the collection picker

Each way opens the same picker.

1. Search for a collection or browse the tree.

2. Tick one or more collections.

3. Click Add to collection.

Click New collection if the one you want doesn't exist yet.

Upload files into a collection

1. Open the collection.

2. Click Add → Upload.

3. Pick files from your computer.

Nest collections

Collections can sit inside other collections, up to 10 levels deep.

Add a sub-collection

1. Open the parent collection.

2. Click Add → Sub-collection.

Filter a collection

Collection pages have filters that Assets lacks:

• Status: Liked, Pinned, Published, Unpublished

• Type: Generated, Uploaded

• Tool: Edit, Background removal, Remix, Upscale, Extend

Remove images

Remove one image from a collection

1. Open the image inside the collection.

2. Choose More options → Remove from this collection.

Remove several images from a collection

1. Inside the collection, select the images.

2. Click Remove from this collection in the bar.

The images stay in Assets.

Delete from library is different: it deletes the image itself.

Collection menu

1. Click … on a collection card to open its menu.

2. Click an item from the table below.

Item	What it does	Who sees the option
Share	Opens the sharing dialog	Top-level collections in a team workspace
Edit	Renames the collection	Owner and editors
Move	Puts the collection inside another one, or back at the top	Owner and team managers
Pin / Unpin	Adds or removes it from the sidebar list under Collections	Everyone
Highlight / Unhighlight	Highlights it for the team	Team managers, top-level collections only
Download	Downloads its contents; shows "Preparing…" while it works	Everyone
Delete	Deletes the collection after you confirm Delete collection	Owner; editors can delete sub-collections only

When you move a collection, Ideogram may ask "Adopt destination access?", meaning whether it should take on the sharing settings of its new parent. A move fails if it would push anything past 10 levels.

Share a collection with your team

Sharing works in team workspaces only. In your personal workspace you'll see "Switch to a team workspace to share collections with others." See Team Plan.

1

Open the sharing dialog

Open the collection and click Share, or pick Share from its menu.

2

Add people

Under "Add people by name or email", add workspace members. You can't add people outside the workspace.

Type a name or email to add a workspace member.

3

Set what each person can do

Give each person Can edit or Can view.

4

Choose general access

Under General access, pick who else can open it:

• Org: anyone in your organization can view or edit, as you choose.

• Private: only the people you added.

Pick who else can open the collection.

Sub-collections follow their parent. To change who can see one, change the top-level collection it lives in.
