Collections, Saved Views, and Groups all help you organize content in Archive, but they do different things — and they’re easy to mix up. Here’s what each one is, when to use it, and how to grab its shareable link.
Collections
A Collection is a hand-picked set of individual posts you’ve added yourself — like a folder of content.
Where: Social Listening → Collections.
Share it: click on the three dots beside the collection name and click Copy Public Link. The link looks like app.archive.com/s/c/… and anyone can view it without an Archive login.
Saved Views
A Saved View is a saved snapshot of filters — not a fixed list of posts, but a rule (for example, “TikTok posts from creators with 100k+ followers”). It always reflects whatever content currently matches.
Where: from the Groups in the side bar you'll see different Content, Reports, Social Profiles, and other sections.
Groups
A Group is simply a folder for organizing your Saved Views in the sidebar — it doesn’t hold content itself.
Where: the left sidebar, under Groups. Click + to create one, click the ⋮ (Options) menu, click on +Add to Group and choose the group you want the Saved Views to be in.
🟡 Heads-up: “Collections” can mean three different things — the Collection entity above, the Collections filter inside Reports, and a Collections group in the sidebar that organizes Saved Views. If something isn’t behaving the way you expect, double-check which one you’re looking at.
Which Link Is Which?
app.archive.com/s/c/… → a Collection
app.archive.com/s/f/… → a Collection-based Saved View
If you ever need to show our team what you’re looking at, the public link is the most reliable way to share it — it tells us exactly which set of content you mean.
