How it works
What it is

What a Collection is

A Collection sits one floor above your Dumps. It never touches the photos: it lines up the Dumps you already have and presents them together, in the order you choose. It earns its keep when one story ended up in several pieces — three days of a trip, four nights of the same summer, every birthday of the same group of friends.

It's a set of Dumps: you line them up and tell them as a single story.

When to use it

When you already have several Dumps about the same thing.

What it isn't

It doesn't hold photos: it holds Dumps. The photos stay in theirs, and a Collection never moves them.

How to use it

  1. 1
    Pick the Dumps

    The ones you already have, including those where you're a collaborator. The order you tap them in is the order they'll be shown in.

  2. 2
    Give it a name

    The cover comes from the first Dump that has one. The name is what other people will read, so it's worth a second's thought.

  3. 3
    Share it like a Dump

    Same link, same three visibility settings. Whoever opens it flips through the Dumps one after another, instead of chasing four separate links.

Questions

If I delete a Collection, do I lose the Dumps inside?

No, and that isn't a polite reassurance: a Collection holds no photos, only references to the Dumps. Deleting it removes the shop window; the Dumps stay exactly where they were.

Can I put someone else's Dump in it?

Only if you're in it as an owner or a collaborator. A Collection is your own shop window, not a way to gather other people's work.

If I add photos to a Dump, does the Collection update?

Yes, on its own. A Collection looks at the real Dumps, so it always shows what's there now — not a copy taken the day you created it.
