A collection is a file area separate to the gallery. Assets in the collection can be located solely within the collection, or in the gallery as well.

Collections the user can access appear under the gallery in the main left-hand navigation.

You can use a collection if:

• you want a set of assts to be visible only to selected groups of users

• you want to highlight a set of assets for the users in your Mediebank

• you want to share assets with users in another organization within your instance

All assets uploaded in Mediebank are owned by the original uploader and their organization. By default, users from other organizations may only download the asset. If you want users from other organizations to be able to edit the asset as well, you can allow this from the collection sharing settings menu.

Currently, there are no defined rules for the import flow to collections. The end user needs to actively choose to place assets in a collection by configuring their destinations.
