Does it sort the photos for me?

No — and it is worth being straight about that. Collections are built by hand. Nothing here classifies your ceremony from your reception; you choose. What you get back is the ability to organise without duplicating files or splitting the event across links.

Does a photo in three collections cost three times the storage?

No. A collection holds references, so the file is stored once no matter how many collections point at it.

Can guests search inside one collection?

Face search runs across the whole event rather than a single collection. Downloads and browsing are collection-scoped; search is not.

For hosts

Collections — one event, several stories

You name the sections and choose what goes in them. A photo can sit in several, and it is still stored once.

Create an event All features

One event's gallery split into four named sections, each with its own cover photograph

A wedding is not one gallery, it is five: the mehendi, the ceremony, the portraits, the reception, the morning after. Delivered as a single unbroken grid, all five are equally hard to find.

Collections let you cut the same gallery into named sections. This is a manual tool and deliberately so — you know which frames are the sangeet and no classifier does. What it removes is the file shuffling: a collection references photos rather than copying them, so a frame in three collections still occupies the storage of one.

Operate it

Named sections over one gallery, operable. Every section is a name somebody typed.
