Collections

Collections are personal groupings such as reading lists, research topics, or course material. A book can belong to multiple collections without moving or duplicating the source file.

Create and browse collections

1. Open Collections from the main navigation.
2. Choose New Collection.
3. Enter a required name (up to 100 characters) and an optional description.
4. Choose Create.

The collection index shows book counts and a link icon for shared collections. Use the All, Private, and Shared filters to narrow the list.

Add a book

Every library book card has an Add to Collection icon beside its title.

1. Select the icon.
2. Toggle one or more collections in the dialog. Changes are saved immediately.
3. Close the dialog when finished.

Checked entries already contain the book. The same dialog can remove existing memberships by toggling them off.

Collection detail

Opening a collection shows its title, description, share state, and books. Books load in title order, 24 at a time; use Load More Books for the next page.

An in-progress book appears in the collection's Now Reading shelf and is omitted from the All Books portion to avoid a duplicate. Progress belongs to the user/book pair, so it is the same whether you open the book from the library or any collection.

Edit or delete

The collection detail page can:

• Change the name or description
• Remove a book from this collection
• Delete the collection

Removing a membership or deleting a collection never deletes the book from the library or its source storage.

Share

Choose Share on a collection to generate a revocable public link. The recipient can browse and read only books currently in that collection. See Sharing for access and privacy details.
