This guide will walk you through creating your first collection in Document Transcribe, helping you organize your documents efficiently.

What is a Collection?

A collection in Document Transcribe is a container that helps you organize related documents. Collections can represent different research topics, time periods, document sets, or any other grouping that makes sense for your workflow.

Step 1: Navigate to Collections

After logging in to your Document Transcribe account, navigate to the Collections section from the main dashboard. This is where all your existing collections are listed and where you can create new ones.

Step 2: Create a New Collection

Click the "New Collection" button, typically located in the top-right corner of the Collections page. This will open a dialog box where you can enter details about your new collection.

Step 3: Enter Collection Details

In the dialog box:

• Enter a descriptive name for your collection
• Add an optional description to provide context
• Select any relevant tags or categories (if applicable)
• Choose privacy settings for your collection

Step 4: Create and Navigate to Your New Collection

Click the "Create Collection" button to finalize. You'll be automatically redirected to your new collection's workspace, where you can begin adding documents and organizing your materials.

Next Steps

Now that you've created your first collection, you can:

• Upload documents to your collection
• Create documents or pages within your collection
• Start transcribing and translating your documents
• Share your collection with collaborators (if your plan permits)
