You have to switch over the “cloud” tab then long-press the collection to add it to your device, and then select the titles for download to get them to appear, otherwise the collection will show as empty.Īlso note that any downloaded items that appear within a collection will also show up on the homescreen and in the library. Then once you switch over to collections view, you still won’t see any collections if they were added with different device or app. You need to filter the items on your homescreen by selecting to view “Collections” from the drop-down list, which is set to “All Items” by default. Viewing cloud collections isn’t all that obvious at first. Note that any changes you make will sync with the cloud and your other devices and apps as well.
