# Custom objects

Custom objects allow us to save our contents in neatly organized collections so that we can pull them out and use them later. This is quite similar to copy/paste, however, we can save as many objects as we want and they are also saved between app sessions.

We can also share our objects as `.pxpc` files.

Custom object collections are saved in `portable_contents` folder within [Pixquare's folder in Files](/gallery/manage-files-via-the-files-app.md).

1. Collection selection
2. Add the selected object to the current layer
3. Available objects
4. Add object. We need an [active selection](/tools/selection.md#what-is-selection) for this to work.

We can also long press on an object and then drag it to the canvas to add.
