# 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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
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.

To add an existing Object to a Collection outside of the collection view, you can use the Add to Collection menu option from the object menu.
