# Separators Default Metadata File
Separators are a special form of collections which are used similar to index cards in a library, they help to "split up" collections by identifying categories (such as "Studio Collections" and "Holiday Collections").
These are empty collections which do not contain any movies/shows themselves, but highlight that the the collections which follow it are of a certain category.
Below is an example of a separator, which can be seen surrounded by a red square.

Separators are enabled by default, but can be disabled/enabled per-file and per-library.
An example of disabling separators at the library-level cam be seen here
```yaml
libraries:
Movies:
template_variables:
use_separator: false
```
And at the file-level
```yaml
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
- pmm: studio
template_variables:
use_separator: false
```
## Alternative Styles
Multiple styles are available for Separators, to match Plex's "categories" feature.
The available styles avaiable are:
| Style | Value |
|:----------------|:------:|
| Original | orig |
| Blue | blue |
| Brown | stb |
| Gray | gray |
| Green | green |
| Purple | purple |
| Red | red |
