❓ Issue/Question
- I'm currently working on creating a csv file to batch make collections. How does this affect collections that already exist?
👌 Resolution/Answer
- When creating new collections via a CSV file, the system will automatically add them. If you include sub-collections under an existing parent (using path logic), only the missing collections will be created and added to the collection tree.

Example:
- You have a collection called
2026, and inside it a sub-collection namedTest. To add a new sub-collection under it, use the following CSV path format:- 2026/Test/Day1
- If you want to add multiple sub-collections, add each one as a separate row in the CSV:
- 2026/Test/Day2
2026/Test/Day3
2026/Test/Day4
- 2026/Test/Day2
- To add sub-collections under the
Daycollections, include an additional level in the path:- 2026/Vancouver Series/Day1/photo
2026/Vancouver Series/Day1/video
2026/Vancouver Series/Day2/photo
2026/Vancouver Series/Day2/video
- 2026/Vancouver Series/Day1/photo
- You have a collection called
