What is a Collection?

Collections are like separate folders for different types of social media content. Inside each collection, you can organize social media posts based on theme, category, or topic. Each Collection has its own social media channels and specific weekly posting times.

In simpler words, each time you create or add a post to a collection. It will automatically be in line to be posted at the times and social media channels that you set up in the collection. 

Collections help you save time by organizing your posts, and you don't have to select where or when to share each time you make a new post. Set it once and forget it!

Why Create a Collection?

Nuelink's collection is your time-saving toolkit. It simplifies post-management for entrepreneurs, content creators, and social media managers. Instead of changing the time for each post individually, you can update the time in the collection, and it will apply to all posts. Plus, when you add posts to a collection, they will automatically be scheduled for the next available time slot and shared on the default social channels.

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Go to the Collections tab in the left sidebar and click Create Collection at the top right of the page.

  1. Enter a Collection Name and pick a Color Code. Choose a name that describes the type of posts you'll include (for example: "Blog", "Products", or "Short-Form Recipes"). The color helps you spot this collection at a glance in the Queue.

  1. Select your Social Media Channels. These are the accounts where posts in this collection will be published. You can pick one channel or several.

    Note: The channels you choose here become the default for every new post in this collection. You can always add or remove channels on individual posts later.

  1. Set your Weekly Posting Times. Choose the days and times you want posts to go out, then click Add Slots. Nuelink will publish your scheduled posts at these times automatically.

Need more settings? Options like Evergreen Queue, Posting Order, Pause Posting, Time Frame, and YouTube Playlists live in the collection's advanced settings. Learn more in our Advanced Collection Settings guide.



  1. Click Create to confirm and save your collection.

6. You're all set! Your new collection is ready for you to start adding and creating posts.

Where to Find Your Collections

All your collections live in the Collections section. From here you can:

  • Search collections by name or post count.
  • Preview each collection's channels and posting times directly on its card.
  • Click any collection to see the posts inside it.

To manage a collection, click the 3 dots on the top right corner of its card. You'll see options to:

  • Edit
  • Share
  • Move
  • Duplicate
  • Delete

How to Use a Collection

Click any collection to preview and manage everything inside it. You can:

  • View posts organized into Queue, Drafts, and Published tabs.
  • Edit the collection's settings by clicking Settings.
  • Search, sort, and edit individual posts.

To add content to your collection, you have three options:

  1. Create posts manually by clicking Create Post at the top of the collection.
  2. Bulk import posts using a CSV file, or Bulk Create.
  3. Automate imports with Nuelink automations (for example, auto-post from your blog, store, or podcast).

FAQs

How many collections can I create?

You can create as many collections as your plan allows. Collections are designed to help you organize content by theme, campaign, or brand, so feel free to create as many as you need.


Can I change a collection's channels or posting times after creating it? 

Yes. Click the 3 dots on the collection card and choose Edit, or open the collection and click Settings. You can update channels, posting times, and all other options anytime.


Where are the advanced options like Evergreen Queue and Posting Order? 

Those options live in the collection's advanced settings. After creating your collection, open it and click Settings to find them. You can also check our Advanced Collection Settings guide for a full walkthrough.


Do I have to select social channels when creating a collection? 

Yes. Every collection needs at least one connected social channel. If you haven't connected a channel yet, go to Channels in the sidebar to add one first.


What happens if I click "Close" instead of "Create"? 

Your collection will be discarded without being saved. Always click Create to save your setup.


Can I add the same social channel to more than one collection? 

Yes. A single channel can belong to as many collections as you want. This is great for running different content themes on the same account (for example, a "Blog" collection and a "Products" collection both posting to your Instagram).


How many posting time slots can I add per day? 

You can add up to 10 time slots per day, per collection. Stagger them based on when your audience is most active for the best reach.


Can I duplicate a collection to save time? 

Yes. Click the 3 dots on the collection card and select Duplicate. All settings (channels, posting times, color) are copied over, so you only need to tweak what's different.


Do I have to pick a color for my collection? 

No, the color code is optional. It just helps you spot the collection more easily in your Queue. You can set or change it anytime from the collection's settings.


Can I move a post from one collection to another? 

Yes. Open the post you want to move, click the move option, and pick the collection you want to send it to. This is helpful if you want to reorganize content after creating it.


What's the difference between a collection and a queue? 

A collection is a group of related posts with its own channels and schedule. The Queue is the timeline that shows all upcoming posts across all your collections in one view.


Can I schedule posts without creating a collection first? 

You'll always need a collection to organize your posts. If you just want a simple setup, create one general collection and add all your posts to it.

Troubleshooting

I can't see the "Create Collection" button. 

Make sure you're on the Collections tab in the left sidebar. If the button still doesn't appear, refresh the page or check that your role supports creating new collections.


None of my social channels appear when I try to select them. 

You'll need to connect at least one channel first. Go to Channels in the sidebar, add a platform, and return to create your collection.


My collection was discarded when I clicked "Close". 

Clicking Close discards the collection without saving. Always click Create to save it. If you lost your setup, 

you'll need to create it again.


Posts in my collection aren't publishing at the scheduled time. 

Open the collection and click Settings to check that Pause Posting is off. Also, confirm your social channels are still connected and haven't expired.


The "Create" button is grayed out, and I can't click it. 

You're probably missing a required field. Double-check that you've added a Collection Name, selected at least one Social Media Channel, and set at least one Posting Time.


My posting times are showing in the wrong time zone. 

Nuelink uses your account owner's time zone by default. Go to your workspace Settings to check and update your time zone if it's incorrect.


I accidentally deleted a collection. 

Deleted collections cannot be recovered after 1 week. You'll need to create the collection again and re-add its posts. To avoid this in the future, use Pause Posting instead of deleting when you want to temporarily stop a collection.


A connected channel shows up in the picker, but won't let me select it. 

The channel may be disconnected or have expired permissions. Go to Channels, reconnect the account, and try again.


My YouTube playlist selector won't load. 

Click Refresh next to the playlist selector. If the playlists still don't load, disconnect and reconnect your YouTube channel in Channels, making sure to grant all requested permissions.
