Change collections
View items in other collections
Items are stored in separate collections according to their usage. The Live collection stores items that are actively being used, so it's usually the only collection displayed throughout Alloy.
The Data Explorer app provides a way to browse and examine the items stored in other collections.
To move multiple items between collections, perform a bulk action to edit their Collection property.
Search collections
When you create a query, only items of the Live collection are fetched by default.
To change which collections are searched in the active query tab, select Collection in the bottom toolbar. If you can't see it, select to open the overflow menu. Select one or more collections in the list and then select Save.
The query will refresh to display new results from the selected collection(s).
