Collections

Collections are folders inside a space. They group related documents — "Support Inbox", "Onboarding", "Runbooks" — and give your Docs library a browsable tree.

Creating collections

1. Open a space and click New collection.

2. Give it a name, an optional description, and an optional icon.

3. Choose a parent collection to nest it, or leave it at the top level.

Collections nest up to two levels deep (a top-level collection can contain one nested level). The Docs UI keeps deep structures readable with indentation and indentation guide lines in the tree.

Organizing documents

• Create a document directly inside a collection via New document on a collection card or row.

• Move documents between collections (and between spaces) with the move dialog on any document.

• Reorder by dragging in Arrange mode, or from the space page. Order is scoped per parent, so sorting a section never shuffles other sections.

• Documents not in any collection appear in the space's Uncategorized section — they're still fully searchable and linkable.

Deleting and restoring

• Deleting a collection shows its delete impact (nested collections and documents) before confirming.

• Collections can be restored after deletion, along with their documents, from the delete confirmation flow or an admin.

Tips

• Mirror your team structure: one top-level collection per product area, nested collections per release or module.

• Keep collection names stable — they appear in the public help center's navigation and breadcrumbs, and automatic redirects handle renames (see Redirects management).

• Use collection descriptions for a one-line summary of what belongs inside.
