Adding Styles to a Collection from another Collection

This feature simplifies the creation of new Collections by allowing users to add styles from existing Collections to a Collection they are currently working on, without needing to switch views.

Access & Permissions

• Moderators and Contributors can add styles to their current Collection from another Collection. 
• Reviewers can add styles to Collections where they have permission. 
• External users cannot add styles to as they cannot create Collections.  

Adding Styles

• Click on the “Add Styles” button from the Collection page.
• A dialog window will appear displaying drop-down options for Folders and Collections. Users can also type in the search bar to look for specific styles to add. 
• Once a style or multiple styles are selected by checking the box beside each style, click on the blue “Add Styles” button to add the selected styles to the current Collection.
• Based on their roles, users can search for styles across Folders and Collections that they have access to.
• Legacy styles may be disabled for selection, and hidden styles will remain hidden.
• When a style is added from another Collection to a current one, it retains its hidden colorways and does not include additional linked styles. 
• All votes and links are reset if a Collection or stye is cloned. 

Notifications

• When styles are added to a Collection, users will receive a real-time pop-up notification at the bottom right corner of the window. 

• The notification will stay visible until the process is complete.
• If styles fail to be added successfully (e.g. due to an internet issue or disconnection), users will receive an error message that says “Styles X cannot be added. Please try again later”. 
• Collection owners will receive notifications when styles are added to their Collections. 
• Notifications are also stored in the Notification Center for future reference.

Legacy Styles in Collections

• If a Collection supports Legacy styles, the styles will remain enabled and searchable when adding styles.
• To add Legacy styles to a Collection, the user must check the box to “Include legacy styles” in the dialog window when creating a new Collection. This action is fixed once the Collection is created. 

• To change the setting to include or exclude Legacy styles, a new Collection will need to be created with existing or new styles added to it. 
• If a Collection does not support Legacy styles, they will be disabled for selection and greyed out in the “Add Styles” dialog window.

• Hidden styles in other Collections will also appear greyed out in the dialog window but remain selectable to add to a current Collection.
