Description

I would like to see wider adoption of collections among Galaxy users, and I'm trying to understand how we can improve collections (or the documentation surrounding collections) to reach that goal. So if you've tried them recently and were stuck at any point and felt that going back to regular datasets was the better option please let us know!
