Collections let you break a big gallery into tidy sections—“Highlights,” “Family,” “Ceremony,” “Reception,” “Black & White,” whatever fits the shoot. Clients can skim faster, and you can stay organized.
Here’s how to set them up.
1. Select the photos you want in a collection
- Open the gallery.
- Click the photos you want to group (you’ll see the black counter appear on each selected image).
2. Add them to a collection
- With photos selected, click Actions.
- Choose Add to collection.
- If you don’t have any collections yet, give your new one a name (e.g. “Highlights,” “Reception,” “Products”) and click Create collection.
- That’s it—those photos are now grouped under that collection.
(If you already have collections, you can pick an existing one instead of creating a new one.)
3. How collections show up
- Each collection becomes its own section inside the gallery.
- Any photos not in a collection will appear at the bottom under “Unassigned photos.”
- On the right side of the gallery you’ll see the little dot / hamburger control—click it to quickly jump between collections or manage them.
4. Manage and reorder collections
- Click the three-line / hamburger button on the right of the gallery.
- Choose Manage collections.
- From there you can reorder collections, rename them, or create another.
This is handy for wedding galleries (Prep → Ceremony → Portraits → Reception) or brand shoots (Hero → Lifestyle → Product).
5. Upload straight into a collection (bonus!)
Once you’ve created at least one collection, the Add photos window will show a Collection dropdown.
- Pick the collection first,
- then upload,
- and your images will land in the right place automatically. 🙌
Tips
- Use collections for phases of a shoot (ceremony, reception, portraits).
- Or use them for deliverable types (sneak peeks vs. full set).
