# Collections

1. **Start with the defaults**

   Every profile gets five collections the first time it's used:
   Breakfast, Dinner, Dessert, Quick & Easy, and Want to Try. Rename,
   recolor, or delete any of them.
2. **Add recipes to a collection**

   From a recipe's menu, toggle it onto one or more collections.
3. **Browse a collection**

   Open it from the sidebar to see just the recipes on it.

## How collections work

- Collections are per-profile — two profiles on the same install never
  share a collection, even if they name one the same thing
- A recipe can be in any number of collections at once
- Adding a recipe to a collection it's already in is a no-op, so there's
  no need to check before toggling it
- Create as many additional collections as you want, each with its own
  name and color

Collections only organize recipes you've already added — see
[Library & Recipes](/features/library) for adding them by hand, or
[Import from a URL](/features/import) for pulling them in from the web.
