Question

When I make up new Vaults it adds them to all Collection

1. I'm trying to import all of my stuff over from KEYPASS
 - Personal and my work stuff i'm self employed 

2. I have my main FAM ACCOUNT (collection)
- I have imported it all and made up new VAULTS 
- And moved all my stuff in to the correct Spots

3. Now i'm going to make up 2 new COLLECTION
 - LWH
 - BEACH

4. So now I'm importing over my 1st IMPORT into a NEW COLLECTION (BEACHS)
- I go to the COLLECTIONS from the TOP LEFT 
- and import my stuff in to a new VAULT called IMPORT
- Then I go and make up a new VAULTs 
  - I have made up say 4 vaults 

5. But when I go in to my other collection its puts all the VAULTS I just made up for the BEACH in FAM and LWM
 - this is going go cause me to go grey as in LWN i will have like 50 Vaults in there and then I have to figure out in my Primary FAM Collection to go and remove them

6. So my question is why when I go and make up new VAULTS does it tie them to all my other COLLECTIONS as I thoght each COLLECTION is its own entity 

Just a bit confused 
Thanks

Hello ​@Imfsub12! 👋

Thank you for reaching out and I’m sorry for the frustration! Collections are a way to group vaults together, you can read more about them here: Use collections to create custom groups of vaults

As a first step, check to make sure that your collections aren’t set to include new vaults automatically: 

  1. Open and unlock the 1Password desktop app.
  2. Click your account or collection at the top of the sidebar and then click Manage Collections. 
  3. Click on each of your collections and scroll down to the bottom of the list of vaults, make sure that “Include new vaults” is turned off. 

Let me know if that doesn’t work or if I misunderstood the situation.

Yes finally wrapping my head around it - 

Just another way of year of using computers and new software thinking why won’t it do what I want.

But understanding and just anther way to organize all of my passwords
