    <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>
