Collections can appear in multiple communities?

[David P. Steelman]

Hi all,

The following appears in https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Functional+Overview

Communities contain collections, which are groupings of related content. A collection may appear in more than one community.

In DSpace 7, is there any GUI support for adding a collection to multiple communities? If not, is there some other way that an existing collection can be associated with a second community?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

At this time, while the data model inside DSpace *can support* a Collection in multiple Communities, there is **no way to do this in the User Interface or REST API**. 

So, essentially it's unsupported at this time.  I'll update the documentation to make that clear.
