How to edit collections on TikTok


TikTok allows users to save favorite videos into organized folders called Collections. These collections make it easier to find videos later — whether they’re funny clips, recipes, workout guides, fashion ideas, or DIY inspiration.

If you frequently save videos, you may want to rename, reorganize, add to, or remove videos from your collections. This guide will show you exactly how to edit collections on TikTok step-by-step.

What Are TikTok Collections?

Collections are folders within your Saved Videos on TikTok. They help you group and organize videos you save so your favorite content is easier to access.

For example, you can create collections such as:

  • Meal Prep Ideas
  • Outfit Inspo
  • Home Decor
  • Dance Challenges
  • Travel Plans
  • Memes

Instead of scrolling through hundreds of saved videos, you just tap the collection.

  4. You will see your Collections displayed at the top.

From here, you can open, edit, and organize your folders.
