A space administrator has the following options

- **Link to - **links an existing snapshot to another collection
- **Move To **- moves an existing snapshot from the collection
- **Remove from collection **- removes the snapshot from the collection

The **Move to** snapshot ellipsis menu option is also be used to [change the hierarchy of a snapshot](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649725444) in an existing collection. The hierarchy can be set when moving or linking a snapshot to another collection.

> 📝 When a snapshot is removed from a collection, and this was the only collection it had been added to, the snapshot is added to an [unassigned collection](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649530667) in the space in which it was created.
