Managing Collections

As your community grows, you'll want to keep your collections organized and up to date. TribeNest gives you full control over your collections after they're created.

Viewing Your Collections

1. Go to My Tribe in your dashboard sidebar.
2. Click Collections.

Your collections appear in a grid layout. Each collection shows its cover image, title, and key details.

Editing a Collection

1. On the Collections page, find the collection you want to edit.
2. Click on the collection to open the edit page.
3. Update any of the following:
   • Title -- Change the collection name
   • Description -- Update or rewrite the description using the rich text editor
   • Cover Image -- Upload a new cover image
   • Membership Access -- Change which tiers can see the collection
4. Click Update Collection to save your changes.

Managing Items Within a Collection

When editing a collection, you'll see the Collection Items section below the main form. This is where you manage the individual posts inside the collection.

Reordering Items

Items inside a collection can be reordered by dragging. Use the grip handle on the left side of each item and drag it to a new position. The order is saved automatically.

Removing Items

Click the remove button on any item to take it out of the collection. This only removes the item from the collection -- it does not delete the original post.

Adding New Items

1. Click the Add Collection Item button at the top of the Collection Items section.
2. Select the item type (Image, Video, or Audio).
3. Write a caption and upload a media file.
4. Repeat for additional items.
5. Click Add Items to Collection when you're done.

New items are added to the end of the collection.

Reordering Collections

You can change the order in which collections appear to your members.

1. On the Collections page, make sure no filters are active.
2. Drag collections to reorder them using the grip handle.
3. The new order is saved automatically.

Searching and Filtering Collections

Search

Use the search bar at the top of the Collections page to find collections by name.

Filters

Click the Filters button to filter by status:

• Active Collections -- Collections that are currently visible to members
• Archived Collections -- Collections you've hidden from members

Active filters appear below the search bar. Click Clear all to reset filters.

Archiving a Collection

Archiving a collection hides it from your members without deleting it.

1. Find the collection on the Collections page.
2. Click the three-dot menu or archive option on the collection card.
3. Confirm that you want to archive the collection.

To view archived collections, use the Filters to switch to "Archived Collections." You can unarchive a collection at any time to make it visible again.
