exporting collections and subcollections

rgaster5

If I export a collection, does that automatically also export all subcollections. similarly, if I create a bibliography, are all subcollections included?

Apologies, I'm sure this has been asked before, but cannot find it.

actually seems clear now that subcollections are not included in the bibliography. is there a way to force that to happen?

Turn recursiveCollections on and then select all items in the middle panel.

thanks Adam worked perfectly. One additional question on groups: I've successfully created a new group library, but when I try to drag items from existing local library, none of them show up. The folder I wanted to copy did arrive, but no items....

If anyone is wondering about this now, it seems like the recursiveCollections options no longer exists but subcollections are included in collections by default.

Also deleting from a collection wil not delete from the subcollection.

@steevenliu2: It still exists, but it's now also just settable via View → Show Items from Subcollections.
