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.
Simply create a collection name and click "Create".
Adding files to a collection
Individual Files
To add an uploaded file to a collection, simply click on the file or files listed in the main file area and click the 
button.
Multiple Files
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 button beside the destination collection when ready.
The above image is an example of the appearance of multiple file selection. Note the count of selected files and ability to remove them from the collection at the bottom of the image, and the highlighted current collection for these files.
Removing files from a collection
To remove a file or files from a collection, simply click on the file (or files using the method described above) listed in the collection and click the File:Removefromcoll.PNG button.
Managing Folders
All current folders will display here for you to manage.
- 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
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.
