How to Rename, Color, and Delete Collections

A personal library is an evolving space. A project shelf titled Semester Drafts will eventually need renaming, or a cluster of related topics might benefit from distinct color accents to stand out at a glance.

GemReader gives you complete control over your collections. You can update titles as your research broadens, assign color badges to categorize topics visually, and safely dissolve collections when a reading milestone is complete.

Before managing your collections, make sure you have:

• Platforms: GemReader installed on your device (Android or iOS).
• Prerequisites: At least one custom collection created in your library.

1. 1
   Open your Library and tap into the collection you want to customize.
2. 2
   Tap the ⋮ three-dot menu icon located in the collection header row.
3. 3
   To Rename: Tap Rename, enter the updated title in the field, and tap Save.
4. 4
   To Change Color: Tap Change Color and pick from the curated palette of pastel and earthy swatches to tint the folder icon.
5. 5
   To Delete the Shelf: Tap Delete.
6. 6
   If the collection contains books, GemReader will present a safe choice:

   • Tap Delete Collection Only to dissolve the folder and return all books safely to your parent shelf or Home Library.
   • Tap Delete Collection & Books only if you want to permanently delete both the folder and its book files from your device.

• Safe Dissolving: Choosing Delete Collection Only leaves every highlight, reading progress marker, and bookmark completely intact—only the folder tag is removed.
• Protected Shelves: If a collection is locked with a PIN, deleting it requires your 4-digit PIN and permanently wipes the encrypted contents to protect your privacy.
• Resetting Color: If you change your mind about a folder's color badge, open the Change Color menu and tap Reset to Default.
