Can I add a collection in my Library Thing app? I have 2 separate libraries & would like to differentiate them somehow in the app. Thanks!

>1 Sandy_Hodges: You can't add or edit Collections via the app at this point, though that is high on our list for the next round of features to include. You can, however, add/edit Collections here on the main site, and then those Collections will show up in the app. Details on adding and editing collections can be found on our help page here: https://www.librarything.com/wiki/index.php/Collections

This post does not help and the link only goes to the home page. How do I add a collection in desktop view on a tablet? The plus nor settings symbols did not help either. I can't find "edit collections". Only doing this once a year so forgot and do not know if it has changed ...

The link is in a post that is more than seven years old. Things change.

Here's the link to the current wiki page: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Collections

>4 bookel: Open your catalog. On the top left, open the drop down with your collections. At the bottom of the list is the Edit Collections link. You can also get there from the Edit page of one of your books.

For the last couple months, I haven’t been able to write anything in library app. I can add books, but I can’t put in a review or anything else. All of my information is available though on the website and I can add things there. What should I do?

>8 williamsjf: Use the website on your phone. The app is under reconstruction, it seems.
