Removing Products from LARGE Collections

[ameliacarrie]

It has always been very easy to add items to collections and over the years some get really full.  However, when a collection get's too packed there is no easy way to remove items in bulk. Yes, you can try the backwards way to add stuff that are already in a collection in order to automatically delete them.  However, if the collection is really full, you just get an error message saying you can't add more products.

Removing items from the bottom of the collection is hard too.  You have to press 5 different LOAD NOW buttons to get to the bottom of the page.  Then, you remove 1 item the page refreshes then you have to click on 5 more different load now buttons. Then, remove and repeat....

SOLUTION:  A checkbox next to each item in the collection with the following options on TOP
1. Remove From Collection
2. Move to Top of Collection
3. Move to Bottom of Collection


BONUS WISH:  Add an option to the "ACTIONS BUTTON" that say's remove from collection.  We have great sorting features and adding features for collections.  We just need an easier way to remove items in bulk.  Thanks!!!

Good Suggestion @ameliacarrie  however Zazzle should Add "REMOVE FROM COLLECTION" as the word Delete would mean to wipe out the product from your store.

Thanks BKMuir!  I accidentally used the word delete a couple times. I updated the post so the word "remove" is in all instances.  Don't want Zazzle thinking I meant deleting any of our products.

GREAT suggestions!

In the backend you can bulk remove.

You go to the 'add products' filter for the collection.

You can select an entire page of items or select or DESELECT individual items.

I found this when adding items that were already added. Re-selecting items already added 'removed them'.

Where the add products option is, it would be nice to also see a remove products option.

Only instead of showing a list of our products like when we add them, it would show only products in the collection with a place to mark them for deletion.   

The other option would be if on the product details there was an option to remove from collections under add to collections.  Then you can search your products by their name, select a group of them, go to details, and remove from collections all of  them with 1 click.

I can't see any way of removing items from a collection. It used to be simple before Zazzle changed things.

I see three little dots appear at top right of item image, but nothing happens when clicking on them.

I'm using an iPad and Safari.

@NigelSutherland  I just removed something from a collection. Works fine on my MS Edge browser.

Perhaps just a hiccup for you at the moment?
