How to browse nested collections

Sometimes a single collection isn't enough to hold everything related to a deal or campaign. Your admin may organize content into nested collections—collections placed inside other collections—to create structured content packages. For example, an "Enterprise Sales Kit" collection might contain nested collections for "Case Studies", "Product Datasheets", and "Demo Videos", along with individual assets like a pricing overview.

This guide shows you how to navigate and use nested collections as a regular user.

When you open a collection from the Collections tab, look at the Content Overview section in the left sidebar. If the collection contains nested collections, you'll see a count next to Collections (e.g., "Collections: 1").

Nested collections appear alongside regular assets in the content gallery. They're easy to spot—they display a collection icon badge and show the collection's cover image instead of a document thumbnail.

In grid view, nested collection cards look similar to asset cards but with a collection icon. To see what's inside without leaving the page:

1. Hover over the nested collection card 2. Click the Expand button

The nested collection's contents appear in an expanded section below the gallery, labeled NESTED COLLECTION with the collection name and item count.

From the expanded view, you can:

• Browse assets - See all assets inside the nested collection

• Copy links - Copy a direct link to any asset

• Share assets - Create engagement links for individual assets

Click the X to collapse the expanded section when you're done.

Switch to list view using the toggle in the top-right corner of the content area. Nested collections appear as rows alongside assets, distinguished by their collection icon.

If you want the full collection experience (including the collection's own sidebar, description, and settings), click the Open collection details button on the nested collection card. This navigates you to the nested collection's own detail page, where you can browse its contents as a standalone collection.

Use the back arrow at the top to return to the parent collection.

You can share individual assets from within a nested collection just like any other asset:

• Copy link - Copies the asset's direct link to your clipboard

• Create engagement link - Creates a tracked sharing link for the asset

👉 TIP: When sharing content from a nested collection with a prospect, consider sharing the parent collection's site link instead. This gives them the full, organized experience your admin designed.

• Start at the top - Browse from the parent collection first to understand the overall structure before diving into nested collections

• Use expand for quick browsing - The inline expand feature is fastest when you just need to check what's inside

• Navigate in for detail - Use "Open collection details" when you need to search, filter, or spend time within the nested collection

• Share the parent - When sending content to prospects, sharing the parent collection or its published site gives a more polished experience than sharing individual assets
