# Collections 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 [permissions](https://gitbook-v2-q67etdj25-gitbook.vercel.app/url/gitbook.com/docs/account-management/member-management/permissions-and-inheritance) 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 [admin role](https://gitbook-v2-q67etdj25-gitbook.vercel.app/url/gitbook.com/docs/account-management/member-management/roles) 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**. {% 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 %}
