Edit a collection in Adobe Acrobat Analyzer

Edit a collection in Adobe Acrobat Analyzer to keep the set of files aligned with your current review work.

Editing a collection is about curating the files you want to work with right now, without re-uploading content or changing the original source file. As your review evolves, you can bring new files into the collection, reuse files that already exist in All Files, or remove files that are no longer relevant to the collection’s scope. These edits change only which files appear in the collection. They do not change the underlying file, and they do not affect other collections unless you take an action that deletes the file from All Files.

Actions to edit a collection

• Upload a file to a collection
  Add new files from your device to an existing collection so they can be processed and reviewed with the rest of the collection.
• Add an already uploaded file to a collection
  Reuse a file that already exists in All Files by adding it to another collection without uploading it again.
• Remove a file from the collection
  Remove a file from the current collection while keeping it available in All Files for use in other collections.
• Delete a file
  Permanently remove a file from All Files and every collection that includes it.

How these tasks fit together

Most editing workflows start by expanding a collection with new uploads or reused files from All Files, then refining it by removing files that don't meet the review criteria. Delete a file only when you no longer need it anywhere in your workspace, and you understand it will be removed from All Files and any collections that include it.
