Setting a default collection

How do I set a default collection? I have three, currently and it defaults to one use rarely. Thank you.

There is no default collection per se. You can set the one in AddBooks (and it will be used when you add new books - select it before you search) but if you want a default one when you open your catalog, there is no way to set that - you get to the last one you had on the screen (if the cookies are still there) or to the one on the top of your list otherwise (I think - I keep Your Library here for a reason).

Yes, the last one you used will show in Your Books unless you have deleted the cookies.

But you can edit your collections so that the collection you prefer is at the top of the list, and therefore show if nothing else is chosen. Edit Collections is at the bottom of the collections list. Once in that, you can click and drag.

Nevermind. I figured it out! ;) When I go to the main "add books" screen I saw that I can change it there. Thanks to all who responded so quickly.
