# Collectionless Collection
|
|
|
|
The `collectionless` Default Metadata File is used to create a [Collectionless collection](../../metadata/builders/plex.md#plex-collectionless) to help Show/Hide Movies/Shows properly in your library.
|
|
|
|
**For this file to work it needs to run last under `metadata_path` and all other normal collections must use `collection_mode: hide_items`.**
|
|
|
|
**This file works with Movie and Show Libraries.**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Collection

## Template Variables
|
|
|
|
Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy.
|
|
|
|
Note that the `template_variables:` section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults work. Any value not specified is its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.
|
|
|
|
**[Shared Collection Variables](../collection_variables) are NOT available to this default file.**
