+# Queries
+
+Lots of people compare Queries with databases, but there's a key difference: Queries don't _store_ Objects like regular databases.
+
+Queries are a way to see a portion of your Graph, and Objects you've created, based on your filtered criteria, and several secondary filters which you can customize. You can think of them as a live filter or query for Objects which share certain criteria - specifically, a Type or a Property.
+
+#### Queries serve two primary functions:
+
+1. **Organizing and Accessing Objects**\
+   \
+   We often get requests along the lines of: _How do I find all of the Notes I've created?_\
+   \
+   One easy way is to create a Query based on Type.\
+   For example; Note, which will display every Note you've created in Anytype.\
+   \
+   If you have specific notes you'd like to frequently access, you can filter them based on Properties you've added to these notes.\
+   \
+   For instance: Creation Date, Tags, or Priority.\
+   \
+   You can then create a Widget which will appear in your Sidebar, acting like a folder for all Objects that meet certain criteria.
+2. **Editing Objects**
+

+
+Queries also provide a way to quickly edit Objects in a list View.\
+\
+You can use multi-select in Queries to delete multiple Objects at once, or to batch update Properties / the Object Type of Objects. Any Properties added to a Query in the Property Menu (top right), will be adopted by all new Objects created with the "+ New Object" button.

+
+### Creating Queries
+
+You can create a Query with the + button from your sidebar or using the / shortcut menu in the editor.
+
+You'll then need to choose if you want a Query by Type which lets you list all of your Objects of a certain Type, or a Query by Property which will list all Objects that contain the Property of your choosing.&#x20;

+
+### Customizing Your Query
+
+#### Toggle & Add Properties to Objects via Queries
+
+Instead of adding Properties one-by-one to Objects, you can batch-add them to your Query by clicking the filters on the right side.
+
+Here you can toggle on/off any Properties that you would like to see, add another Property or new Property, and edit the View of the Query here.
+
+<figure><img src="../../.gitbook/assets/image (114).png" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
+
+#### Sorts & Filters
+
+You are also able to sort or filter your Query by any Property that you've previously added to the Query.

+
+# Collections
+
+Collections can be used to organize a variety of different objects and store them in one place.
+
+You are not restricted to viewing only one Object Type at a time, this means you can have multiple different types within one collection.
+
+If you are organizing your meal prep for the week, you might have a list of recipes, as well as ingredients and a shopping list.
+
+The main types you may have could be Recipes and Ingredients.
+
+In a Collection, you can organize all of this Types together seamlessly.
+
+{% hint style="warning" %}
+The main difference between Queries and Collections is that Queries draw Objects from your entire Graph, whereas Collections work more like a traditional database, where they start empty and you have to add Objects to them manually.
+{% endhint %}
+
+### Adding Objects
+
+To add new Objects to a Collection, simply click on the New buttons either in the top right corner or at the bottom of a collection.

+
+To add an existing Object to a Collection while in the collection view, you can hover over the Existing object menu option under the arrow menu.
