# Collections
|
|
|
|
Collections allow you to organize books across multiple libraries.
|
|
|
|
## Viewing Collections
|
|
|
|
### From Collections Page
|
|
|
|
Navigate to **Collections** (sidebar navigation) to see all your collections. Clicking on a collection shows ALL books in that collection across all libraries.
|
|
|
|
### From Dashboard
|
|
|
|
When viewing a specific library's dashboard, collections only show books from that library. Clicking "View All" preserves this context and shows only books from that library in the collection.
|
|
|
|
### Library Filtering
|
|
|
|
- **No filter** (`/collections/favorites`): Shows all books across all libraries
|
|
- **With filter** (`/collections/favorites?library_id=xxx`): Shows only books from the specified library
|
|
|
|
## Creating Collections
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **Collections** (sidebar navigation)
|
|
2. Click **New Collection** (top-right) — or **Create Your First Collection** if the list is empty
|
|
3. Fill in the details:
|
|
- **Name** - Collection name
|
|
- **Description** - Optional description
|
|
- **Icon** - Pick from the icon grid
|
|
- **Color** - Pick a color swatch
|
|
4. Click **Create Collection**
|
|
|
|
## Managing Collections
|
|
|
|
Each collection in the list has icon buttons on its card:
|
|
|
|
- **Edit** - Opens the edit form to change name, description, icon, or color. Click **Update Collection** to save.
|
|
- **Delete** - Removes the collection after a confirmation prompt.
|
|
|
|
Deleted a system collection by mistake? The **Restore System** button on the Collections page brings back system collections.
|
|
|
|
### Dashboard Sections
|
|
|
|
Collections appear as sections on your dashboard. Show, hide, and reorder them from the dashboard's **Customize Dashboard** settings (see [Dashboard](dashboard.md)).
