  <title>Make collections of documents</title>

  <comment>
    <cite date="2012-02-20" href="mailto:yrazes@gmail.com">Julita Inca</cite>
    <p>This assumes the reader knows how to explore and find documents.
    By the end of this page, the reader will be able to make collections.
    This topic is about:
    - Overview of how collections work.
    - How are collections searched? How can you only search inside a collection?
    - Can you put collections inside collections?
    </p>

  <p><app>Documents</app> lets you put together documents of different types in
  one place called a <em>collection</em>. If you have documents that are
  related, you can group them to make them easier to find. For example, if you
  had a business trip where you made a presentation, your slides, your flight
  itinerary (a PDF file), your budget spreadsheet, and other hybrid PDF/ODF
  documents, can be grouped in one collection.</p>

  <p>To create or add to a collection:</p>
  <list>
   <item><p>Click the <gui>✓</gui> button.</p></item>
   <item><p>In selection mode, check the documents to be collected.</p></item>
   <item><p>Click the <gui>+</gui> button in the button bar.</p></item>
   <item><p>In the collection list, click <gui>Add</gui> and type a new
    collection name, or select an existing collection. The selected documents
    will be added to the collection.</p></item>
  </list>

  <note>
   <p>Collections do not behave like folders and their hierarchy: <em>you
   cannot put collections inside collections.</em></p>
  </note>

  <p>To delete a collection:</p>
  <list>
   <item><p>Click the <gui>✓</gui> button.</p></item>
   <item><p>In selection mode, check the collection to be deleted.</p></item>
   <item><p>Click the Trash button in the button bar. The collection will be
    deleted, leaving the original documents.</p></item>
  </list>
