How do I add files to a collection?

Add files to a collection in 4 different ways.

1)  Add individual media items, one at a time, to a Collection
  • go to a thumbnail image representing the item on the My Media home page or on a Collection page
  • click the '+' or plus sign icon in the thumbnail, and a Collection popup window appears
  • pick an existing Collection for your item within the popup window, or create a new Collection
  • click Add to complete adding the item into the designated Collection

2)  Add multiple items at one time to a Collection
  • click the checkbox (lower right corner) on multiple thumbnail representations displayed on the My Media home page or on a Collection page
  • go to the 'With Selected' box menu, located in upper left or lower left corners of the display page, and choose 'Add to Collection', and a Collection popup window appears
  • pick an existing Collection for your item within the popup window, or create a new Collection
  • click Add to complete adding the item into the designated Collection

3)  Upload media items directly into a collection
  • click on the Upload tab (in the top navigational header) to go to the Upload page
  • before uploading media files into your LightJar account, first choose a Collection from the drop-down menu or create a new Collection into which the new media items will be placed
  • continue with the Upload process and the new items are uploaded directly into the designated Collection
  • the new media items are displayed on both the My Media page and within the assigned Collections page

4)  Place items into a collection when editing a media item on the Detailed Media View page
