From inside a collection, you can edit its details, archive it, or delete it entirely. All three options are available from the collection page.
Editing a collection
Click Edit Collection in the top right corner. A panel opens with the following fields:
- Description — add or update a description for the collection
- Start Date and End Date — update the monitor period if needed
- The red bin icon in the top right of the panel permanently deletes the collection
Click Save to apply your changes, or Cancel to discard them.
⚠️ Clicking the bin icon inside the Edit Collection panel will permanently delete the collection and cannot be undone. If you think you may need the collection again, archive it instead.
Archiving a collection
Click Archive in the top right corner. A confirmation dialogue appears:
"This action will archive the collection. It will no longer appear in active lists, but can be restored later if needed."
Click Archive Collection to confirm, or Cancel to go back.
Archived collections move to the Archived Collections section on the main Collections page. Their data is retained and the collection can be restored at any time.
💡 Archiving is the right choice when a monitoring period has ended but you want to keep the data for reference — for example, after a loan exhibition closes or a temporary showcase ends.
Switching between collections
The dropdown arrow next to the collection name at the top of the page lets you switch to a different collection without going back to the main Collections list.
