Creating Personal Collections

In the Gospel Library, you can create a personal Collection. Building a personal Collection will save you time as you study the scriptures.For example, I create a Collection called "Scripture Study." The Collection contains the Topical Guide, Bible Dictionary, Come, Follow Me for Individuals and Families, Bible Videos/Teachings, Maps, and Hymns.Notice that most of the items are found in different Collections. By having a Scripture Study Collection, I have quick access to each of the materials I use frequently.A Collection can only hold complete content. For example, I could have the entire October 2018 General Conference, but not one of the talks from that conference. Or, I could have the whole Come, Follow Me curriculum but not only January.To create a Collection depends on if you have an Apple or Android device.Apple• While in the Library, tap on Edit in the upper right-hand corner.• Tap on the plus sign in the lower right-hand corner.• Type the name of the Collection.• Tap on Save.Android• Tap on the options menu in the upper right-corner (the three vertical dots)• Tap on Custom Collections.• Tap on the plus sign.• Type the name of the Collection• Tap on Add.To add content to your Collection is also device dependent.
