# Organize a big library with folders

> Use collections, folders, bulk upload, reordering and moving to keep a growing library easy to browse.

## When to use this

- You have dozens of recordings and members can't find anything.
- You're uploading a whole program or archive at once.
- You want items in a specific order, like Day 1 to Day 30.

## Structure that works

- Collections are the top level: one per theme, program or offer. Only collections can carry a price and a form.
- Folders go inside a collection, for weeks, modules or topics. They follow the collection's price.
- Standalone items (the Content tab) suit one-off pieces that don't belong to a set.

**Step 1: Create the collection**

On the Collections tab, click Add Collection, fill in the details and click Create & Continue.

**Step 2: Add folders**

Open the collection and click Add → Folder (*Create Folder*). Add one for each week or topic.

**Step 3: Upload in bulk**

Open a folder or the collection and click Add → Bulk Upload. Drag in your files (*"Drag & drop
files"*), edit each Title, and optionally set a Price and Subscriber price per file. Open
Settings to pick the Visibility, then click Upload. You'll see *"Upload Complete!"* when it's
done.

**Step 4: Put things in order**

Inside a collection, click More actions → Reorder, drag items and folders, and click Save Order.
To order your collections themselves, click Reorder on the Collections tab (*Reorder
Collections*).

**Step 5: Move strays into place**

On any item's ⋯ menu, click Move to.., choose the collection (the current one is marked
*(Current)*) and click Move to Selected Collection.

## Tips

- Keep your tab open while uploading. Uploads don't continue in the background. Chrome is the most reliable browser for big files.
- Size limits per file: video 10 GB, audio 1 GB, documents 5 GB, images 20 MB. Split or compress long videos.
- Duplicate a collection or item from its ⋯ menu to reuse its setup.
- Search and filter. Both tabs have a search box and a Visibility filter, and the Collections tab can filter to Draft.
- Change visibility for everything inside with More actions → Manage Visibility.

**Warning:** 
A collection can't be deleted while it still has items or folders inside, and there's no bulk
delete. Plan your structure before uploading hundreds of files. See [Archive and clean
up](https://help.bringsoul.life/luminaries/offerings/content-library/archive-and-clean-up).

## What your members see

The collection page lists folders and items in the order you set. Opening a folder shows what's inside, with breadcrumbs back to the collection.
