# Create your first collection

In Revstack, a document collection groups together all the documents you wish to analyze for a specific systematic review, along with your [team members](/docs/getting-started/manage-your-team.md).

## Create a collection of documents

To create a new collection, go to the collections page (via the bookmaks logo in the navigation bar (1)) and select the "Create a new collection" button (2).

This will open a form in which you can enter the name of the collection, the type of collection and a brief description.

{% hint style="info" %}
The description field is optional but recommended. It is meant to provide succinct information to your team members. You can use it to help them understand the purpose of the systematic review and outline the main criteria for including or excluding articles.
{% endhint %}

Once you have saved the form, you will be redirected to the newly created collection. Here you will be able to invite your team members.

## Archive a collection of documents

To archive a collection of documents, select "Archive collection" from the drop-down menu (1). To restore an archived collection, switch to the "Archived Collections" view using the toggle button (2) and click the "Restore" button.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Archiving a collection applies to all team members, and restoring it will make it accessible to all team members again.
{% endhint %}

## Delete a collection of document

Only the creator can delete a collection. First, the collection must be archived. Then, switch to the "Archived Collections" view using the toggle button (located at the top) and click the "Delete" button.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Note: Deleting a collection applies to all team members and will delete permanently all associated documents, full texts, and gathered information.&#x20;
