Viewing the new collection
Under Collections, your new collect should be visible.
Choose it. If it has any images already in it already, only they will be on view.
Adding more images to your collection
Return to the All Photographs view, make sure that your Collections panel is also open at the same time.
Tip, if both panels do not stay open at the same time, then Ctrl + Click on the panel name and deselect Solo Mode.
Drag and Drop

Updated collection
The files will have been added to the collection and the total of images in the collection revised to reflect the addition.
