    Hello,

    Maybe it's a stupid question, but what is the difference (in usability) between categories and collections?

    I see differences in permissions.... but for the rest......

    Thanks,
    Vincent

    Hello,

    I believe you have asked me somewhere but seem I missed it.

    Category: The place to store the album to categorize the contents.
    Collection: The set of albums and/or photos by topic or event. For instance: I create a collection named "Best picture of the year" and add albums/photos to this.

    Category physically stores the contents while Collection just make a link to content (logically). You cannot upload directly to a Collection but can select one that your content might belong to.

    Yes I did, but as an off-topic question. No problem, thanks you for your answer and explanation!

    It is clear to me now and I'm very happy with this feature! Great!

    Regards, Vincent
