3. In the Collections section (right side of the screen), select one or more existing collections or begin typing a collection name for it to appear and then select it.
4. Click Save (bottom right corner of the screen) to add the product to all the selected collections.

Edit a collection by adding an existing product to a collection from the Collection section. 

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Products > Collections.
2. Click the name of the collection that you want to add products to.
3. In the Products section (located below the product description), click Add products.
4. In the Add products drop-down list, click each product that you want to add to your collection. Once a product is clicked, it has been selected. A product can be deselected by clicking it again. 
5. Click Save (bottom right corner of the screen).

Learn more about adding a product to the correct collection from Shopify within the "add products to a manual collection" section. Do not attempt to add or delete a collection. This website is custom coded.
