class, credit, professor or any other category with Collections. ![Image 25: How to use collections](https://genio.co/hubfs/RESOURCES_thumb_collections_34_e87e5fda17.svg) Group your Genio Notes Events by class, credit, professor or any other category with Collections. ## Step 1: Creating a Collection Let’s say you want to group your recordings by subject. Go to the Genio Notes home page and click the Collections tab on the left. Click ‘New Collection’. ![Image 26: Creating a Collection](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/GUIDES_BODY_organise_collections_1_1991ee9496.png) At the top, add your Collection name (in this case ‘Cryogenics’). ![Image 27: Cryogenics](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/GUIDES_BODY_organise_collections_3_85c8eb90ab.png) You can now add all relevant classes to this collection. Repeat this step to create as many collections as you need for the semester. ![Image 28: Collections](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/GUIDES_BODY_organise_collections_4_a19c7a793b.png) ## Step 2: Add your Events to Collections From the dashboard, find an Event you want to move into a Collection. Click the options toggle to the right. Select ‘Move Event’. ![Image 29: Move Event](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/GUIDES_BODY_organise_collections_5_c462eeb7fa.png) Select the Collection you want to move it to. Voila! Keep going and you’ll soon have all your Events in the right place. ## Step 3: Deleting Collections If you’ve made a collection by mistake (or just want to reorganize), you can delete it by opening the Collection and clicking the options toggle at the top right of the screen. ![Image 30: Deleting Collections](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/GUIDES_BODY_organise_collections_6_f7ec9393e3.png) Follow the prompts to delete the collection. But don’t worry - as you’ll see on the pop-up window, **deleting a collection will not delete its events**. ![Image 31: Deleting Collections](https://genio.co/hubfs/Glean_April2022/Image/GUIDES_BODY_organise_collections_7_283c4e9a1c.png) ## ‘Umm… sorry, what?!’ Need more info?
