WHAT DOES THIS FEATURE SOLVE?
Collections give you one place to save and organise content across the platform's sources – whether that's news, parliamentary content, or social media posts. You can add comments to individual pieces of content and share the collection with colleagues or export it as a PDF, for example for management.
HOW TO – STEP BY STEP
Go to Collections in the left navigation.
Click Create collection in the top right corner and give the collection a name.
Choose whether it should be Private or Shared (visible to colleagues in your organisation).
Navigate to the content you want to save – for example a news item or a parliamentary post – and add it to your collection via the action menu on that content item.
Add comments to content items as you save new content – the comments help you and your colleagues understand why a particular piece of content is relevant.
Continue adding content to the collection over time. A collection doesn't need to be finalised in one go – you can return and build on it as you go.
When the collection is ready to share, click the download icon and select PDF. Here you can choose a time period and whether to include comments in the export.
GOOD TO KNOW
Content can be added to collections from both issues and stakeholder profiles.
Shared collections are visible to all users in your organisation – use them for internal sharing of important news or political developments.
When exporting as a PDF, you can filter by time period, making it easy to produce a weekly or monthly update for management.
Comments on content items are included in the PDF export if you choose – use them to explain the relevance to recipients who don't use the platform on a daily basis.
