Unlink a collection

A collection can be unlinked from a space using the collection ellipsis menu option.

Once a collection is unlinked no additional snapshot documents can be added to the collection from the space.

Any snapshots in the unlinked collection that are not linked to any other collection are added to the space Unassigned collection.

A snapshot in the Unassigned collection can be added to another collection using the snapshot document dropdown ellipsis menu.
