Delete a collection using Analyzer in Sign

Last updated on Aug 17, 2026

Delete a collection when you no longer need the organizational container but want to keep its documents available in Analyzer.

Deleting a collection permanently removes the collection and its associations. It does not modify, move, or delete the underlying files.

Delete a collection

Select Collections.

Locate the collection you want to delete and select its ellipsis menu.

Select Delete.

Confirm the deletion.

The Collections list page with the menu expanded and Delete highlighted.

Analyzer removes the collection immediately. Its files remain available in All files and in any other collections that contain them.

Who can delete a collection

Only the collection owner can delete the collection from the standard interface.

What happens when you delete a collection

Deleting a collection:

  • Removes the collection permanently.
  • Removes access for users the collection was shared with.
  • Keeps the files available in All files.
  • Keeps files available in any other collections that contain them.
  • Does not affect source files stored in external systems.

You cannot recover a collection after deleting it.

Before you delete a shared collection

If other users rely on a shared collection, review its sharing settings before deleting it. Deleting the collection immediately removes access for everyone it was shared with.
