- [Instructor] Collection sets help you
organize your collections.
We have one default set here that contains
all of the smart collections
that come with Lightroom Classic.
If we look close at the icon,
it looks like a box or a filing box.
I like to think of the collections as filing folders
and the collection set as the box
that the filing folders sit in.
Let's create a couple of sets to clean up our collections.
I'll click on the plus next to collections
and come down to create collection set,
and we'll create one for the family and click create.
That added a new box here at the top,
and it's really just as simple as
dragging and dropping these collections.
We can use the Shift key to select multiple ones.
So, I'll select Kayla and Nia, Shift key, select Nia,
and then I can drag both of those into the set.
Let's grab Terell and drag him up there as well.
We'll create one more for travel.
So call this one travel.
Now, we don't want to put this set
inside of the set that we created for family.
So you can nest your collection sets
inside of other collection sets,
but it's not necessary.
So we'll uncheck that and create it,
and then select the three travel ones
using the Shift key,
and just drag and drop them up into the travel.
Then we could collapse these down
and have a nice, clean, tidy collections panel.
So collection sets are just a way to be more organized.
They aren't required
when you only have a handful of collections,
but they become really functional
when you have a large number of them.
If you find that your collection panel is getting so full
that it fills your screen,
try cleaning it up with collection sets.
