# Collections

> Organize your conversions into searchable knowledge folders.

## Overview

Collections let you organize your conversions into folders — like "React Research", "Competitor Analysis", or "Weekly Reading". Group related content, browse it later, and export entire collections as a single merged Markdown file.

<Note>
  Collections is a **Pro-only** feature.
</Note>

## Creating a collection

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Collections tab">
    In the Web2MD popup, navigate to the **Collections** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a new collection">
    Click **New Collection**, enter a name, and optionally choose a parent collection for nesting.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start adding conversions">
    Add conversions from the History tab, or assign them during conversion.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Adding conversions to a collection

There are two ways to add content:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="From History" icon="clock-rotate-left">
    Open the History tab, find a conversion, and use the **folder dropdown** to assign it to a collection.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Nested collections" icon="folder-tree">
    Create sub-collections inside any collection for deeper organization. For example: **Research → Frontend → React**.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Browsing collections

The Collections tab shows all your folders in a tree view. Click into any collection to see its contents:

* Conversion title, URL, and date
* AI summary and tags (if available)
* Quick actions: open original page, re-convert, remove from collection

## Exporting a collection

Click **Export** on any collection to generate a single merged Markdown file containing all items in that collection.

The export includes:

* A table of contents with links to each section
* Each conversion separated by a heading and horizontal rule
* Source URLs and metadata preserved

<Tip>
  Exporting a collection is a fast way to build a research document or study guide from multiple sources.

## Compile Wiki

Turn any collection into an AI-generated knowledge base — downloadable as an Obsidian-ready ZIP file.

<Note>
  Compile Wiki requires a **Pro plan**.
</Note>

### How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a collection">
    Navigate to the Collections tab and open the collection you want to compile.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click the brain icon">
    Hover over the collection header to reveal the **Compile Wiki** button (brain icon).
  </Step>

  <Step title="AI generates concept articles">
    Web2MD analyzes all conversions in the collection and generates interconnected concept articles with wikilinks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Download the ZIP">
    The result is an Obsidian-ready ZIP containing:

    * Individual concept `.md` files with wikilinks (`[[Related Concept]]`)
    * An `INDEX.md` with links to all articles
    * YAML frontmatter on each file
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Example

If your collection contains 10 articles about "React Server Components", Compile Wiki might generate:

* `Server Components.md` — Overview with links to \[\[Streaming]], \[\[Suspense]], \[\[Data Fetching]]
* `Streaming.md` — How streaming works with links back to \[\[Server Components]]
* `Data Fetching.md` — Patterns for data loading in RSC
* `INDEX.md` — Master list of all generated articles

<Tip>
  Compile Wiki works best with collections of 5-20 related articles on a specific topic. The AI uses the content to identify key concepts and create cross-linked articles.
</Tip>

## Managing collections

| Action     | How                                                                                   |
| ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Create** | Collections tab → New Collection                                                      |
| **Rename** | Click the collection name → Edit                                                      |
| **Nest**   | Drag a collection into another, or set parent on creation                             |
| **Delete** | Click the trash icon on any collection (conversions are not deleted, just unassigned) |

<Warning>
  Deleting a collection removes the folder only. Your conversions remain in History and can be reassigned to other collections.
</Warning>

## Data storage

All collection data is stored in your Web2MD account and syncs across devices. Your organized knowledge stays with you as long as you have an active Pro subscription.
