Learn "More Actions" Add to Collection control missing only on Q&A sites

Hornblower409 15,140

None of the Learn Q&A pages are showing the "More actions" -> "Add to Collection" control in the top right next to the "Follow Question" button.

e.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5937277/new-computer-outllook-(classic)-calendar-appointme

But all of the other Learn pages I check still have the "More Actions" and the "Add to Collection"

e.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/filesystems

And I can still see my existing Collections.

e.g. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/collections/nkoxbjtpp82oy8

I have tried reporting the issue directly to Microsoft using a feedback form on their support page.

Hey there, Hornblower409

This is expected behaviour.

Recently the developers of the Microsoft Q&A platform have removed the more actions from the threads on the Q&A platform. However, this wasn't removed from the wider Microsoft Learn platform.

So this means you are able to add Microsoft documentation to collections you have created. If you have collections that already have Microsoft Q&A threads, they didn't get removed, just the ability to add new threads to the collections.

This is how I understood it 😎

Thanks,
Nathan

Not a bug. By Design.

Got it. Thanks for the research.

Too bad though. Was a easy way to keep "Follow Up" lists of Q&A threads. e.g. "Did Mod reply to latest from OP?", "Did OP Reply to Mod Answer?", "If not solved, suggest ..."

You're welcome, Hornblower409

I did like the idea of the feature, but never used it. I think it would have been better if we could write actual articles on the Q&A community like we could on the Microsoft community.

I would say create a collection in Edge, but the Edge team have removed that feature too, and it is now found under Bing, which is another shame as I loved that feature for keeping track of articles and threads. Now have to go old school and create favourites and save them to folders in Edge, like we are going back in time, not forwards 🤣

I just reverted to plain text files I keep open in Notepad++ while I'm working Q&A. One is my "Hot Sheet" (problems that might be more than just "User Holding Tongue Wrong") the other is for Follow Ups. It's easier to update, much quicker, and I can see them all on one page.
