Collections are simple containers inside a Project where you can organize your assets. Collections have no role in user management - all users with access to your Asset Manager Project have permission to see any Collections that exist in it.

You can nest Collections up to 6 levels deep under a Project.

Before you start

You must have at least a Contributor role in the Asset Manager Project to which you want to add a Collection.

Create a Collection

To create new Collection, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure you are signed into Unity Cloud and have the correct permissions in the Asset Manager Project to which you will add the new Collection.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • From the Asset Manager web interface, next to the Create asset button, select the menu (...) button.
    • From the main library view for your Asset Manager Project, next to Add Asset, select the arrow button.
  3. Select Create Collection.
  4. In the Collection Name field, enter a meaningful name for this collection of assets.
  5. (Optional) To create the new collection in a different Asset Manager Project, select Change location and select the correct project.
  6. Select Create.

The new Collection appears in the list of available Collections for this Asset Manager Project.
