I just tested this and cannot reproduce your experience. Are you sure you picked the `Smart Collection` option in the `Save As` menu of the `Advanced Filter` (the save-as button has options to create regular playlists and collections as well as smart playlists and collections… so it’ll be an easy error to make)? If so… on what version of PMS and what version of Plex Web are you experiencing this (e.g. hosted or bundled)? ---

yes. 1. Went to a music library 2. then the Library section under music library 3. Create a smart collection (last item on the menu) 4. Click “save as”, give a name “test collection” 5. then I find it under “playlists” ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/4X/d/4/1/d416aee812d9422c2c31c725ec377486ca79a54b.jpeg) ---

> [@PLXOBS](#): > > Create a smart collection (last item on the menu) This is actually called Advanced Filter. It is for both playlists and collections. > Click “save as”, give a name “test collection” Did you click on “Save as”. The default is a playlist. You need to click on the drop down arrow and use “Save as Smart Collection”. ---

Where did you pick collection the first time? Do you mean you made another Smart collection before? That choice isn’t saved and “save as” is always defaulted to playlist. ---

Ah, I see what you mean. I’ll bring this up with the team. I don’t think it does what you expect, which is what’s confusing. ---
