# Organise Confluence diagrams into collections

To organise Confluence diagrams into collections, open the Capable Diagrams catalogue, select **Create collection** under **Space collections** or **Global collections**, then drag diagrams from **Diagrams on pages** onto it. Each diagram stays on its page; the collection just groups it, and one diagram can sit in several collections.

## Before you start

| **To**              | **You need**                                                                               |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Create a collection | Permission to create content in the space, or in the global space for a global collection. |
| Add a diagram to it | Edit access to the page the diagram is on.                                                 |

## Steps

1. Open the Capable Diagrams catalogue for the space.
2. In the sidebar, under **Collections**, go to **Space collections**, or **Global collections** if it should span spaces.
3. Select **Create collection** and give it a name.
4. Open **Diagrams on pages** and switch to the grid view if you are not in it.
5. Drag a diagram, or a selection of diagrams, onto the new collection in the sidebar. Alternatively, right-click a diagram, open **Collections** and tick the collection.
6. Select the collection in the sidebar to check what is in it.

## What happens next

* The diagram stays on its page, unchanged. No new diagram version is created.
* Its **Details** panel lists the collection under **Collections**, where you can also use **Add to collection** or remove it again.
* To take a diagram out while viewing the collection, right-click it and choose **Remove from this collection**.

## If it does not work

* A diagram you just added is missing after a reload: wait a few minutes for the search index. See [Collection membership delay](https://help.gocapable.com/diagrams/collection-membership-delay.html).
* Dragging does nothing in list or table view. Switch to the grid view, or open the diagram and use its **Details** panel.
* No **Create collection** button: you cannot create content in that space. Ask a space administrator.
