Using the Collection Tile

The Collection Tile is used to a collection of files or links to your stack. 

Why use the Collection Tile?

Authors often use the Collection Tile if they have a set of related material that they want to group together in their stack (such as references or background study materials). The Collection Tile allows you to do this with files and web links. If you want more flexibility over what to include in your set of materials and how it appears onscreen then you should use a Stack Screen Tile instead. The tile titled Related Papers in this example stack is a Collection Tile.

Using the Collection Tile

Drag and drop a Collection Tile from the Tile Library into your stack (1). Type in a Title for your Tile (2). Then click on the drop down menu and choose to Add new collection (3).
