Collections make it easy to keep complete learning resources together in one place. You can add different types of materials to a collection, including:
- Guides, such as the Accounts Payable Guide or Customization Guide
- PDF guides that are already prepared for you
- Predefined topics in your Personal Books collection

Collection vs. Personal Book
A collection helps you keep complete resources together. If you want to select individual topics from different guides and combine them into your own customized guide, use a personal book instead.
