What are collections & why should I care?
(Updated June 10, 2021) - Something called 'collections'
exists on your edocr page. Let's discuss this cool and
useful feature.
A collection is a folder of documents, similar to having a
directory folder on your computer. Think of it as a portfolio
or binder. It is a place you can gather common content
together and control that content with a set of access
rules.
So, take your documents, with various purpose and
content, from this:

Our Basic (free) account provides you two collections (3 if
you were an edocr user before we migrated databases in
2016). Your collections appear on your profile page.
*Please note the default 'My Documents' Collection is
a public folder with no access control options, unlike
all other Collections.
Possibilities for collections include gating all of the
documents. You can gate your content in a number of
different ways, for example:
● Require email for access (leadgen)
● Provide a unique URL which is not discoverable
● Allow access by a list you input to view documents
● Allow access by a list you input to upload documents
And, edocr added in October 2019 a new Collection type
called Collaboration Collections. This allows you to create
a collection and provide access to a defined group to
submit documents to you that only the collection owner
can view and edit. Read more here.
The settings you choose will apply to all of the documents
in that Collection, overriding any contrary Document
setting.
Creation of a Collection with one of these options, or just
publicly available looks like this:
Examples of why you might choose various privacy
settings are:
● This collection is about a certain subject someone
may 'follow'
● this collection is private to my 10th grade math class
● this collection requires a valid email address to be
accessed (for #leadgen)
● this collection requires a $2 monthly subscription fee
● these documents are 'for sale'
● this collection is private between me and my friends
only
● This collection is for my students to
