Content Collections
Whenever you discover inspiring or interesting content, save it to a content collection. You can also share your collections with your team and also invite others to contribute to the collection so that you can organize and plan engaging content strategies together. Teamwork is built into the collections with the following features:
Like or Dislike (vote) individual pieces of content.
A place for Discussion (chat) specific to the collection.
Schedule straight to Publisher.
Live updates to the collection for real-time collaboration.
By default, each user starts with a private collection that has the name “My first collection” and an introductory video to Collections.
