Who can add media to a collection? Collection Managers and any collection member who has the Add & Upload permission in the collection. EchoVideo administrators can add media to any collection.

NOTE that if an Administrator has disabled the Library for students, students cannot add media to the collection or copy media from it. They can still participate fully in Collections and can have any Access Level including Manager. However, they will not see the Add Media (or Copy) options in their collections as described in this article.

There are three ways to add media to your collection:

1. Enter the collection and click Add Media.
2. From the Media Tile button in your library, click Add To Collection then identify the collection to add it to.
3. Share to the collection from the Media Details page. These are the instructions provided below.

From your Library, click ON the media tile to open the Media Details page. All sharing you are permitted to do with this media is available in the Share Settings section of the Info tab.

Scroll down! COLLECTIONS sharing is located at the VERY BOTTOM of the page.

Adding media to a collection

Once media is added to the collection, all collection members can view it. Some members may also be able to download, copy, or post media from the collection to other locations.

You may or may not be able to REMOVE the media from the collection after you have added it; remove media permissions in collections are assigned separately from add media permissions.

To add media to a collection from the media details page

1. Click on the Media Tile of the item you want to add, to open the Media Details page (shown above).
2. Scroll to the BOTTOM of the media details page to find the Sharing to Collections section of the page (shown above).
3. Click in the Share with drop-down list.

   The drop-down list opens to show only those collections where you are permitted to add media, as shown in the figure below.

   
4. If the collection you want does not appear at first, begin typing the name of the collection where you want to add this media. If it does not appear, you do not have Add & Upload permissions to that collection.
5. Select the collection you want from the list.
6. If appropriate, repeat these steps to add this media to another collection.

The media is immediately added to the collection, and the collection now appears in the Collections list.

Removing media from a collection

The Collection area of the media details page allows you to remove media from any collections it resides in, but ONLY IF you have Remove media permissions in the collection. If you do not have this permission, you will not see the X button for removing the media as described below.

Alternatively, you can remove media from a collection via the Collection page itself if you have permission to do so.
