Collection Movies structure setup

Hello everyone.

I'm having an issue with collections.

I created a folder named Collections (folder name) and added it to Emby as a Movies library.

However, when I add it, Emby starts scanning it and creates (automatically) a second Collections section. The problem is that this new Collections library appears empty, even though it has been added successfully.

Also, in the Collections library that I created from this folder, the movies are displayed individually instead of being grouped into collections.

Am I missing a setting, or is there something I'm doing wrong?

And to be honest, at one point it was working fine—meaning I could see the collections as collections and not individually movies.
But I don't know what I tweaked, and it stopped working.

In Library view: three-dot menu (next to Filters)>enable/toggle on "Group items into collections".

That is default behavior if you have "Import collection information..." enabled in any movie content-type library settings. If you don't want it, you can just hide it in your user's Home Screen settings. 

Edit: And as a matter of curiosity: why did you create a separate library called Collections in the first place?

I forgot to mention it.
Yes, I have it enabled.
However, I would simply like it to actually be a collection, rather than one by one.

Have you waited for library scan to finish? As your auto-collection Collections library should not be empty, and your custom Collections library items should be grouped under their respective collections.

Yes now its ok , i just refresh metadata and library files
Solution i think is that "In Library view: three-dot menu (next to Filters)>enable/toggle on "Group items into collections". 
but i think its working after refresh metadata and library files
