Collection description/note
planned
Robert Williams
I believe it would be fantastic to add the ability to set descriptions for collections themselves. The description could be positioned directly underneath the collection search bar when a collection is selected.
This would allow the more ambigous collection names to describe themselves, rendering it especially useful if the collection is shared with others.

I was thinking about the same, glad that it has been requested already - and it's even planned!
Couple of extra requests:
- Add tagsto collections too.
- Description and tags should be shown on the collection share page.

I also requested something similar today, so I’m pasting my suggestion here as well:
<< Note & Info section for collections >>
It’d be great if each collection had an info section (like a panel or window) showing:
- Last item added date (and ideally, last modified date too)
- An optional note or description
This would help us:
- Remember when a collection was last updated
- Leave notes like “Watched up to here” or “Start from this one next time”
- Add a short explanation of what the collection is for (great for organizing collections)
- Add a note for others in a shared collection
- Quick To-Do note
Use case: I follow a lot of YouTube creators and use Raindrop.io to save only the videos I actually want to watch. But it’s hard to remember when I last updated a collection, or which video I left off on.
A built-in way to track this would make managing collections much easier.

Descriptions for Groups and Collections

Similar to how you can add notes to bookmarks, adding a description to groups and collections would be nice so I could make notes about their purpose and their contents.

Always nice to come here to post an idea... and see it's already on the Planned Roadmap.
Less nice to see it's been on the Roadmap for 4 and half years.

- Can you add option to write description for collection/Group?
- Put Icon on Group
- also can be good option text Bold Group-name
- Collapse sites when you enter to collection - in result see only folders

Allow a short description for each collection, also seen in Shared Collections.
Use cases: describing what goes into a collection and what doesn't; description about usage for Shared collections

Collection notes/ intro

Now there are only two properties of Collection: name and icon.
It would be nice to add a little header space for typing a personal note/ introduction to the collection, so I can add details on the purpose/ key points of the collection beyond its name.
I guess this would not add a lot of clutter to the UX, and would be easy to implement since now markdown-enabled Note/ Comment feature is being added for bookmarks. Please kindly consider adding this. It would be very helpful.
The screenshot is how this intro/header area (in red rectangle) is similarly introduced in Things 3, for your reference.
Thank you.

Simply a feature to add a description in a collection, and display it in the folder would be very useful.

Notepad in collections

I would love to be able to integrate a notepad into collections.
This way, I could add information about a project, which would add a lot of extra perspective to Raindrop
