Organizing pages with collections

Group saved pages into nested, color-coded collections — rename, refile with drag and drop, and keep projects separate in your PagePocket library.

Last updated

Collections are folders for your library. They are how a pile of saved pages becomes a usable archive: one collection per project, per story, per course, per client — whatever structure fits the work.

Creating a collection

In the app, use the sidebar's new-collection control and give it a name. The collection appears immediately and can receive pages right away.

Collections are available on every plan, including Free.

Nesting

Collections can contain sub-collections, so you can mirror real structure — Research → 2026 → Link-rot sources, for example. There is no fixed depth limit; nest as deep as the work demands. Expanding and collapsing the tree in the sidebar keeps even large libraries navigable.

Colors

Every collection has a color. Ten preset colors are available — assign one from the collection's context menu and it is used consistently in the sidebar and page lists, so a project is recognisable at a glance.

Filing pages

Pages can be filed into collections two ways:

  • Drag and drop a page onto a collection in the sidebar, or
  • use a page's move action and pick the destination collection from the dialog — including creating a fresh collection on the way.

A page lives in one collection at a time, and the sidebar shows each collection's page count so you can see where the mass of your archive sits.

Renaming and deleting

Rename a collection from its context menu — links, shares, and saved pages are unaffected. Deleting a collection keeps its pages: they return to the unfiled view rather than being deleted with it, so tidying up is never destructive.

Finding things inside a collection

Open a collection in the sidebar to browse just its pages, or run a full-text search and filter it to the collection — useful for "which of the pages I saved for this story mentioned X?".

Put your archive to work

PagePocket saves full-fidelity pages to a private, searchable library you can share with a link. Free to start.
