Accessing & Understanding Collection Home Screen

The Collection Module acts as a discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific Collection goals and objectives. Whenever a user creates a Collection or assigned a Collection access, the user can upload documents related to the Collection and within other folders and thus make the documents available to other users, who can then review the user's document and send him/her the feedback accordingly.
