Slash Collections

Slash Collections introduces a feature to help you better organize and manage related Shortcuts.

What is a Collection?

A Collection is like a virtual folder where you can group and organize your related Shortcuts. It acts as a container that holds Shortcuts together for a specific purpose or theme. Let's break down the key attributes:

  • Name: Your chosen label for the Collection. This becomes a crucial part of the URL, enabling direct and quick access to the Collection. For example, if your Collection is named "work-projects", the direct access link would be c/work-projects. This user-defined name significantly enhances the accessibility and recognition of your Collections.
  • Title: A brief title summarizing the Collection's content.
  • Description: A short description explaining what the Collection is about.
  • Shortcuts: The Shortcuts included in the Collection.
  • Visibility: Settings to control who can access the Collection.

What Problems Does It Solve?

Slash Collections tackle the challenge of efficiently managing and organizing related Shortcuts. By grouping Shortcuts into Collections, you can create a more structured and accessible workflow. This makes it easier to find, access, and share information based on specific themes or projects.

How to Use Collections

Creating a Collection

  1. Define the Collection: Give your Collection a meaningful name and a descriptive title.
  2. Add Details: Provide a brief description of the content within the Collection.
  3. Add Shortcuts: Include relevant Shortcuts by selecting them from your existing list.
  4. Set Visibility: Choose who should have access to the Collection.
  5. Save: Once saved, your Collection is ready to use.

Accessing Collections

Access a Collection directly by using the assigned name. For example, if your Collection is named "work-projects", the direct access link would be {YOUR_DOMAIN}/c/work-projects.

Updating and Managing Collections

Modify Collection details, such as name, title, or included Shortcuts, to keep your organization streamlined and relevant.

Sharing Collections

Share Collections by providing the assigned name to collaborators for easy access to grouped Shortcuts.
