Function improve:why original one cant be deleted after moved to anther collection

1.when the item dragged out of the original collection to another, it is still in so there are two copies of it
2.when I deleted a collection unconsciously, does it mean I can't find it back if already synced?

    1) Collections aren’t folders. An item can belong to multiple collections at one time—these aren’t copies; it is the same item in multiple collections. Think of them more like playlists than folders. To “move” an item to a new collection so that it is also removed from the original collection, hold down Shift while you drag it (Cmd on Mac).

    2) There isn’t currently a way to restore a deleted collection, but do note that the items themselves are probably still in your library. If it’s not too many items, you can just recreate the collection manually. Otherwise, see https://zotero.org/support/zotero_data#restoring_your_zotero_library_from_a_backup
