File collections can be used to help keep your uploaded files organized. You can add files to multiple collections if necessary and files can be added or removed from collections at any time.

Where to Find

This area can be found in the "Files" section of the "My Content" area on the Toolbar. File collection management options will be listed in the left column.

Creating a new collection

Creating a new collection can be done quickly by clicking on "New" in the collections area.

To add multiple files to a collection, simply click each file listed in the main file area while holding the ctrl key (on a PC) or the command key (on a Mac), clicking on the Addtocoll.PNG button beside the destination collection when ready.

  • Clicking the rename button will allow you to change the collection name.
  • You can create a new collection by clicking on the "Create a New Folder" button.
  • Clicking the folder name will allow you to view all files within that folder.
  • Clicking on the Deleteicon2.gif button will allow you to delete that folder.

Note: Deleting a folder will not delete the files within it. As a folder is only a means of grouping files, only the group is deleted in this process.

Viewing a collection

You can view all files within a collection by clicking the collection name in the left column. All files that appear in the main file area are the files associated with that collection.

Clicking on "All Files" in the main file area header will show all uploaded files.
