# Collections using Look Files

Look Files can also be used to pass off Collections from one Katana project to another.

When a Look File is baked out for a sub-section of the scene graph hierarchy, for every Collection the baking process notes if any locations inside that sub-section of the hierarchy are in the Collection. If they do the paths for those matching locations are written into the Look File.

When the Look File is brought in and resolved, these baked sub-collections are brought in as Collections that are available at the root location of the asset.

In essence this means that if you're using a Look File to pass off the materials and assignments on an asset from Look Dev to Lighting you can also declare Collections in your Look Dev scene so that they are conveniently available to the lighters.
