Collections
Group posts into collections you can share by link or curate with other people (plugin 4.8.0 or later, signed in).
- The Collections button in the timeline header lists your collections. Choose one to see only its posts; the bar above them shows who can see it and how many posts it holds, and its ⋯ button opens the collection's actions.
- Inside a collection, search, platform, tag and date filters still work; the tabs and quick filters are hidden.
- Add to collection is on every card (in the card's ⋯ menu on a phone) and in the selection bar for several posts at once. Cards show which collections a post is in; click one to open it.
See the Collections guide for sharing, collaborative collections and Bases.
