# Deleting, Moving, and Comparing Records in Collections

### Deleting Records

To delete an object from a collection, select the record, go to the button with three dots on the upper-right corner of the results display and select **Remove record from collection.**

### Moving Records

Items in collections can also be rearranged and moved between collections using drag-and-drop.

### Comparing Records

When searching, it can be helpful to view records of a search result in direct comparison. To do this, select the desired data records by holding down the SHIFT key and left-click, then right-click to select **Compare X objects**:

The selected records are then displayed side by side in an enlarged view:

Above the displayed records, you can now choose between a normal and a comparative display:

Using the button with the three dots, you can also make individual settings to the comparative display: image only, image and metadata, metadata only, and number of records per page:

Within a collection, you can also switch to a comparative view of all data entries. To do this, activate the middle button (**Compare view**) on the left above the overview of the data records:
