How do I organize my designs into collections?

You can now sort your designs into collections in your File Library. Name them however you like, give each one a color, and find the right design in seconds when you create products.

There's no limit to how many collections you can create, and a single design can be in as many collections as you need

Create a collection

1. Go to File Library in the left menu.
2. Click + New collection.
3. Enter a name.
4. Pick a color to make the collection easy to spot.
5. Click Create.

Add designs to a collection

1. In your File Library, click the three dots (⋮) next to a design.
2. Click Add to collection...
3. Choose the collection you want to add it to.

Want the same design in more than one collection? Just repeat the steps. The Collections column shows every collection a design belongs to.

To take a design out of a collection, open that collection's tab, click the three dots (⋮) next to the design, and select Remove from "[collection name]".

📌 Designs that aren't in any collection appear under Uncategorized.

Manage several designs at once

Need to sort a lot of designs? You can add or remove them in bulk.

1. In your File Library, tick the checkbox next to each design you want to move. To select every design on the page, tick the checkbox at the top of the list.
2. Use the bar at the bottom of the page:
   • Add to collection adds all selected designs to a collection.
   • Remove from collection takes all selected designs out of a collection.

📌 The same bar also lets you Download or Delete all selected designs.

Delete a collection

Deleting a collection never deletes your designs. You can manage a collection using the three dots (⋮) on its tab.

• If a design was only in that collection, it moves back to Uncategorized.
• If a design was also in other collections, it's only removed from the deleted one and stays in the rest.

Use collections when creating a product

1. Open the Design generator for your product.
2. Click Add layer.
3. In the Design library window, click a collection tab to see the designs inside it.
4. Select one or more designs.
5. Click Add designs. Each design is added as its own layer.

📌 Need a new file? Click Upload design right in the Design library window. New uploads go to Uncategorized, so you can sort them into a collection later in your File Library.

Check print quality before you add a design

The Design library window also helps you pick files that will print well:

• The recommended size is shown in the top right. It's specific to the product you're designing.
• A print quality badge is shown in the bottom right of each design:
  • Print ready (green): the design matches/exceeds the recommended size.
  • May look soft (orange): the design has a low DPI, so it may print less sharp.
  • Low resolution (red): the design is smaller than the recommended size.

⚠️ For the sharpest result, use designs marked Print ready. If a design shows as May look soft or Low resolution, upload a higher-quality version of the file.

Pro Tip: Group your designs by store, theme, season, or product type, so building a new product only takes a few clicks.
