Smart Collections

Organize assets with nested collections and team sharing

How It Works

Smart Collections

Powerful collection system for organizing, sharing, and distributing your assets with flexible hierarchy and granular access control.

Key Features

Nested Collections

Organize with up to 3 levels of hierarchy. Create structures like Project > Scene > Take or Client > Campaign > Deliverables. Each level maintains its own settings and permissions.

Many-to-Many Organization

Assets can belong to multiple collections without duplication. Add the same photo to "Hero Shots," "Client Selects," and "Social Media" collections simultaneously.

Three Visibility Levels

Studio All organization members can view. Ideal for completed projects and reference libraries.

External Accessible via share links without authentication. Best for client deliveries and public galleries.

Granular Member Permissions
