Collections

Collections are ordered groups of recipes. They help you organize your library and serve as the foundation for building digital products like ebooks, meal plans, and recipe card packs.

Creating a collection

1. Go to Library > Collections.
2. Click New Collection.
3. Give it a name (for example, “Weeknight Dinners” or “Holiday Baking”) and an optional description.
4. Add recipes by searching your library and selecting them.
5. Drag recipes to reorder them. The order here determines the order in products.
6. Click Save.

How collections work

• A recipe can belong to zero or more collections. Adding a recipe to one collection does not remove it from another.
• The order of recipes within a collection is meaningful. When you build an ebook or recipe card pack from a collection, recipes appear in the collection’s order.
• When you archive a recipe, it is automatically removed from all collections.

Caution

You cannot delete a collection that is referenced by a published product. Archive or unpublish the product first.

Using collections for products

When you create a product in the product builder, you can select a collection as the source. All recipes in that collection, in order, become the product’s content. You can also hand-pick individual recipes if you do not want to use a full collection.

Tip

Create a collection before you start building a product. It is much easier to organize recipe order in the collection view than in the product builder.
