Collections
Collections let you group related documents together. They’re the backbone of organized research in Virza.
Creating collections
- Click New Collection in the sidebar or press the + button
- Enter a name that describes the group (e.g., “Systematic Review Sources”)
- Optionally add a description to remind yourself of the collection’s purpose
Managing collections
Rename
Right-click the collection in the sidebar → Rename, or open the collection and click the title to edit.
Delete
Right-click → Delete. Documents in the collection are NOT deleted. They stay in your library.
Deleting a collection only removes the grouping. Your documents are safe.
Reorder
Drag collections in the sidebar to reorder them. Put your most-used collections at the top.
Collection views
Within any collection, you can switch between:
- Grid view: Visual card layout with thumbnails
- List view: Compact list for quickly scanning titles and metadata
- Table view: Spreadsheet-style with sortable columns
Sharing collections
If your workspace has multiple members, collections are visible to everyone in the workspace. There’s no separate sharing step. If someone is in your workspace, they can see all collections.
To share a collection with someone outside your workspace, you’ll need to invite them to the workspace first.
