Hello,
I am new to Zotero. The main window shows the title and creator of the reference. it is possible to show a column with the containing collection to facilitate the selection of the items?
Thanks

If you select a collection from the tree on the left, it will only show items from that collection. Here are some support articles about working with Zotero collections:

• Collections and Tags

But it is not possible to have a column with the collection name, I reckon? Thanks

No, you can see available columns in the column selector (icon in the top-right corner of the items table, or right-click on any column in Zotero Beta) but there isn't one for a collection name. Please bear in mind that an item can belong to many collections so such column wouldn't be very helpful in most cases. There is a way to highlight what collection selected item or items belong to:
