Notes specific to this workflow
When you are searching for videos to add to a collection on the ‘My Echo360 Library’ screen, collections can be seen in both the Library and Collections tabs but individual videos can only be seen in the Library tab.
You can add videos to a collection either by selecting videos already in your Echo library, or by uploading videos directly into an Echo collection. (If using the latter option, the videos are also added to your library.)
This workflow will show you how to add videos to your collection using both these methods [-> NEED TO ADD IN STEPS TO UPLOAD DIRECTLY INTO A COLLECTION]
