The Collections feature is a great organizational tool for each Gallery. You can create and completely customize your own Collections to suit your needs!
💡The steps to create a collection are the same across all three galleries: the Item Gallery, Recipe Gallery, and Inspiration Gallery. The examples below will be shown from the Item Gallery.
Creating a New Collection
To create a new Collection, follow these steps:
- First, click the 'Add New' button in the top-right corner and select 'New Collection.'
- A Collection modal will appear in the center of the screen. Enter your desired 'Title' and 'Description.'
- You can set a background image or color for the new Collection. Use the Background drop-down menu to choose an option. You can also pick a color using the Color Palette tool or upload an image.
- Additionally, you can choose to hide or display the 'Title.'
- When you're ready, click 'Add Collection' to finish!

Check out this GIF for an example of the steps outlined above. You can also add Sub-Collections by repeating these steps within any Collection.
Adding Items to Your Collections
After creating a Collection, the next step is to add Items!
To do this, you can cut or copy Items to a clipboard. Once you've chosen the items you want, the clipboard will open, and you can use the navigation tool to navigate to the Collection you want to paste the items into.
Alternatively, you can head back to your 'Gallery Home' and click into your desired collection from there.
Note: You cannot 'cut' an item from the All Items or My Items Collections.
There are several ways to add items to your clipboard. You can right-click on a single item and select 'Copy' to add it to the clipboard, or you can select multiple items at once using Selection Mode.
Selection Mode
To access Selection Mode, click the 'Options' button in the bottom-center of the screen and click the 'Selection Mode' option. Then, you can click on any of the items you want or click and drag to select all the items within your path.

Once you've selected the items you want, click 'Copy' or 'Cut' at the bottom-center of the screen to move those items to the clipboard. If you change your mind and want to start over with your selections, click 'Cancel.'
Note: If you 'cut' something from a collection, it will no longer be in the area you selected it from.
The Clipboard
Once Items have been copied or cut to the clipboard, you can paste them into any collection you want! The Search & Filters panel on the left side will turn into the Clipboard so you can see what you've selected. If you want to switch back and forth between the search options and your selected Items, you'll use the 'Menu' button at the top right of that panel to navigate.

Once you have gathered all the items you need, go to the Collection where you want to place them and click 'Paste' at the bottom center to finish.
Clearing & Previewing the Clipboard
When your Clipboard is full, you can preview all the selected Items in full view. Alternatively, you can clear the board of any selections you've made.
Both options are under the 'Menu' button at the top-right corner of the Clipboard panel.
Navigating Between Collections
To quickly navigate between various Collections or back to the Gallery Home, use the icon at the top left of the Collections board, which looks like an open book.
Click on the menu and then select your destination. Use this menu to get around the Gallery!
To reorder your 'Item Gallery' collections, click on the icon in the upper right-hand corner that looks like four arrows pointing in different directions. Then, hold the icon and drag and drop to reorder the collections.

Using Pre-Loaded Recipes From Details (this option is specific to the Recipe Gallery)
In the Recipe Gallery, you will have a 'Favorite Recipes' collection. This area will be filled with recipes from Details and our associated partners that you can add to your 'My Recipes' collection and customize as you see fit!
To move a Favorite Recipe into your My Recipes collection, click on the '+' symbol in the top right-hand corner of the recipe itself, or click on the recipe and then click on the '+ Add To Gallery' button at the bottom of the modal.
