## Managing a collection in a space

A space administrator manages a collection in a space using the ellipsis menu option for each collection in the space snapshot publishing dashboard.

Open the ellipsis menu and choose

- **Edit** to change the collection settings - name, description, viewers, and contributors
- **Remove** to delete collection (deletes the collection from the instance and it will no longer be accessible)
- **Unlink** to unlink the collection from the current space (no additional snapshots can be added to the collection from this space)

> 📝 The** Edit** and **Remove** options will only be accessible if the current space administrator is also the collection manager for the collection.

A space administrator who is not the collection owner can only **View** the collection settings and **Unlink** the collection.

The **Remove** option is disabled.

If a collection is removed from the site or unlinked from the current space, any snapshots not currently in another collection in the space will be added to the [unassigned collection](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649530667).

> 📝 The [unassigned collection](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649530667) is only displayed if the space includes one or more snapshot documents that are not currently added to a linked collection.

The space administrator can [manage existing snapshots in a collection](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649824873) using the snapshot document ellipsis menu for each snapshot.

> ℹ️ Click a collection name to list the snapshots in the collection.

- **Move to** - adds the snapshot to another collection (and remove from the current collection)
- **Remove from collection** - removes from the current collection
