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](https://docs.pixquare.art/gallery/manage-files-via-the-files-app).

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

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