Development q12910: Featured Collection UI improvements
When I created a new folder in a Featured Collection, it took me a while to figure out how to add existing resources to the collection.

These are the two options presented on screen:

Add a new sub folder or upload to the collection

To add existing resources, I need to go back up, hover over the collection and Select the collection:

Could "Select this collection" be a tile Icon in the folder you create?

I figured it out eventually, but it too me a few times to experiment.
