# How to organise your recipes into collections

Group recipes into collections like "Weeknight dinners" or "Baking", give each one an icon, filter a collection by meal type and diet, and rename or delete it.

Your **Recipes** tab shows every recipe you've saved, newest first. Collections let you group them however you like, such as "Weeknight dinners", "Baking" or "Date night". A recipe can be in as many collections as you want.

## Make a collection

**1. Open a recipe**

Tap any recipe you want in the new collection.

**2. Choose Add to collection**

Open the recipe's menu and choose **Add to collection**.

**3. Tap + to create one**

Type a name and tap **Create**.

**4. Tap Save**

The recipe is now in your new collection. Collections show in a row above **All recipes** on the **Recipes** tab.

To add a recipe to existing collections, open **Add to collection** again, tick or untick collections, and tap **Save**.

## Browse and filter a collection

Each collection's cover shows its newest recipe's photo large, with the next two beside it. Tap a collection to open it. Under its name, a row of chips shows the meal types and diets in it, like "Main 6" or "Vegetarian 3". Tap a chip to show only those recipes, and tap it again to turn it off.

## Rename, share or delete

Open the collection and tap its menu:

- **Share** sends a link to the whole collection. See the article on sharing.
- **Edit** (on the web, **Edit name and icon**) changes its name and icon.
- **Delete** removes the collection. Its recipes stay in **Recipes**.

## Give a collection an icon

An icon shows before the collection's name, on the **Recipes** tab and wherever the collection appears.

**5. Open Edit**

Open the collection, tap its menu and choose **Edit**. On the web, choose **Edit name and icon**.

**6. Pick a picture**

Phork It! suggests pictures of food, kitchen tools and allergens that match the collection's name. Search for another one, such as "pasta" or "oven", and tap it.

**7. Or use an emoji**

If no picture fits, type one emoji under **Or an emoji** (on the web, **Or use an emoji**).

**8. Tap Save**

Choose **No icon** to remove it again.

> **Tip:**

Phork It!'s pictures look the same on every phone and computer. An emoji looks different depending on the device.
