<span style="color: #2020e9; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">To create a collection, follow these steps:
 * 1) <span style="color: #2020e9; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">Click the **Create new** button at the top left of your Documents List.
 * 2) <span style="color: #2020e9; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">Select **Collection** from the drop-down menu.
 * 3) <span style="color: #2020e9; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">In the screen that appears, place your cursor over the field labeled **New Collections** and enter a name.

<span style="color: #2020e9; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">The collection you created now appears in both the **My collections** section on your left, and in your Documents List. If you want to create a second collection inside the first, then use the drop-down arrow to the right of your collection and select **New - Collection.**

<span style="color: #2020e9; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">To add items to a collection you have several options:
 * <span style="color: #2020e9; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">Drag and drop one or more items from the central pane in the Documents List to the appropriate collection.
 * <span style="color: #2020e9; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">Select one or more items and use the **Actions** menu and select **Organize...**. Check off the collections where you want to store your items and click **Apply**.
 * <span style="color: #2020e9; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">When an individual item is selected you can click on Collections - Organize in the Details Pane to add or change the collection associated with it.

<span style="color: #2020e9; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">Once either of these steps is taken, your items will show up in the collection you selected. Note, also, that it's possible to assign a single file to multiple collections. You can see all your docs, regardless of the collection you put them in, by clicking on **All items**.

<span style="color: #2020e9; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">Sharing a collection with someone is an easy way to give someone access to the items within your collection. Just click **My collections** in the navigation pane on the left of your docs, select the collection you'd like to share, click **Share** from the drop-down menu, and select **Sharing settings...**. <span style="color: #2020e9; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 14px;">At the bottom of the 'Sharing settings' window, under 'Add people,' type the email addresses of anyone you'd like to share the collection with. (For more information about the various sharing settings please visit the section about [|sharing].)
