This process can be applied to any combination of collection sets, col- lections, and smart collections.
step one: Click the + (plus sign) at the right side of the Collections panel’s header and choose Create Collection Set.
step two: Give the collection set a name and choose if you want it to be placed inside an existing collection set.
In my case, I want it to go into my Travel collection set, so that’s selected from the pop-up menu. Click Create to add it to the Collections panel.
Now that I have my parent collection set, I can begin to add collections and smart collections to organize my photos. First, I’ll add a collection for all photos from the trip to Gla- cier National Park.
step one: An alternative to the + (plus sign) in the right side of the panel is to Right-click on the parent collection set and choose Create Collection from the pop-up menu that appears.
