Creating collections on Papers for iPad and moving papers to collections
Collections are a great way to keep all your research organized in Papers for iPad. Although you can organise your collections on Papers for Mac and then sync collections to your iPad (see this article for an explanation of how to do this if you're unsure), you can also do this directly on your iPad.
1. Creating a new collection
To create a new collection, you will first need to tap 'Edit' in the main menu (a). Create a new collection by tapping 'New' in the top left corner (b).

- Now you can name you collection (c). You'll now find your new collection in the collection list.

2. Moving papers to collections
- To move a paper into a collection tap the 'Add to collection' icon in the sidebar (a). If you can't see the sidebar just tap the middle of the iPad screen. Now, just select the collection you would like to move the paper to (b).
