A Collection can be expanded or updated by adding more assets at any time. There are multiple ways to add files Collections.
- Drag and Drop - Simply drag selected files from the workspace onto a Collection to add them.
- Using the Action menu - Sometimes it’s more convenient to use the flyout Action Menu to add a selected group of files to a Collection, especially if you need to create a new Collection at the same time.
- Right-click - The right-click context menu shows some of the options from the action menu, and will operate on all currently selected files.
- Duplicate folder trees to Collection trees - This is useful for files that are well-organized in an existing folder tree.
- Auto-add to collections through Workflow - Automatically add incoming files to a specific Collection.
