Create Collections in Docs.com

Collections in Docs.com are essentially exactly what the name suggests! These are "Collections" that enable you to gather various files as well as content created from around the web which interests you and group them all together. Collections work as virtual folders that store all sorts of content. This is great if you are doing a project and want all the content to be placed in a Collection without actually moving all the content to the Collection itself!

You can place various files in Collections and later share and embed the entire Collection in other websites and blogs. If you look closely on the Docs.com home page, you will see a section which displays Collections created by others, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 1 below.
