What’s a Collection and how do you create one?

Collections are groups of photos, videos and other content that you want to group together – like a digital photo album. Have great pictures from a friend’s wedding, your child’s birthday or that trip from last summer? A Collection is the perfect place to store everything together!

Collections allow you to be the curator of your favorite memories, and creating one isn’t hard at all. Collections can be created from

Collections tab

Go to MiMedia home, select “Collections”  from  the horizontal navigation bar. Click “Create new collection” and give the collection a name. Click the up arrow in the upper right to upload/drag items for your computer or Facebook.

Select the items you wish to use or include in your collection. Then select method:

Single Select Method

Right click on item,  click “Add to Collection”. You can also left click on item and select “Add to Collection” from the horizontal menu bar thats display above automatically from within the selected item.

If you wish to add to an already existing “Collection” select its name then click the “+” button. Otherwise, click the “New Collection Name” to type the name of your choice. Click the “+” button, doing so adds the new name in the “Collections” list. While it is highlighted, click the “Add” button.

Multi Select Drag Method

Using the drag method, click your first item then drag your mouse to the last item you want to include. Release the mouse, notice the total number of items selected in the upper left corner, while all selected items checkmarks in the upper right hand corner of the image/video.

In the upper top section of the window, a horizontal menu bar automatically displays with several options. Hit the “Add to Collection” link. The “Select or Create Collection” window appears.

After successfully adding items to a collection a message will display with the number of items and the “Collection” to which it has been added in the upper right corner of the window.

And that’s it! Collections can be fun ways to organize your content for viewing or sharing later. Enjoy!
