Collation Folder

The collation folder was introduced in 11.1 as the direct successor to V10's notebook.

The folder is a container item. It can only hold pages (symbols, link panels, and/or blanks), but can hold an unlimited number. It keeps them in order without sorting or stacking, as compared to the symbol portfolio.

The GUI allows pages to be dragged around, and pieces of paper can be placed into the notebook to make blank pages. When dragging pages into the folder, either left or right click will drop them in, but you need to click on an empty space in the black area. If the visible area is completely covered with pages, it will be necessary to scroll down to expose (at least part of) a blank area below the pages, where new pages can be dropped.

Folders are useful for gathering and sequencing the symbols for an intended D-book; they can be set up in a writing desk, then taken over to the book binder and "dumped in" with a right-click.
