Save items to collections

An item collection is a static grouping of items that can be used as search criteria or for other purposes such as creating assignments, adding to exam forms, or sending for review.

On the Search page, you can create or modify collections of items directly from your refined search results. When you perform a search, you can select from the returned items  and add them directly to a new or existing collection. 

Note Items can belong to multiple collections. 

Note Collections are not language-specific; a single collection can have items from more than one language.
