Creating a Quick Collection
Quick Collections are quick and easy to create and are stored within Smart Collections on the side menu.
To add photos to a Quick Collection, open any album. Then, if you hover over the top right of the photo you want to add, you will see Add Photo to Quick Collection.
Just click the circle to add it to a Quick Collection.
Editing a Quick Collection
Once you have added photos to your Quick Collection, you can access it by clicking it on the side menu.
Easily remove photos from your Quick Collection by clicking the circle again to un-select them (remember that removing a photo from the Quick Collection won’t affect its location in any other Album or Collection it belongs to).
Access the Quick Collection menu on the sidebar for some additional options.
You can access the same options via the Actions menu when you are inside the Collection.
If you want to only save specific photos to a collection, but you’re not ready to remove the other photos, just select the ones you want to save to the collection by marking the checkbox in the top-left of the photo. Then choose Save Selected to New or Save Selected to Existing.
You can save all the photos to a new collection with Save to New, or save them to an existing collection with Save to Existing.
You can also clear the entire collection in the case that you only needed it temporarily for a specific, one-off situation.
Making a Quick Collection Permanent
Although Quick Collections are great for creating quick, temporary collections on the fly for a specific purpose, you may decide that you want to keep the collection you created as a permanent collection.
Click the side menu drop down and select either Save All to New or Save Selected to New (if you have pre-selected specific photos).
A pop-up will open where you can name your Collection. You can also choose whether to clear the Quick Collection of these photos once your new Collection is created. If you still have photos in there that you want to save to another collection, make sure you uncheck this box.
You will see the new Collection appear on the side menu and the Quick Collection will be cleared (if you clicked the checkbox).
See how to manage your collection in the article How to Create a Collection.
