Collections

A collection is a set artifacts that have been captured at a meaningful point in time. These artifacts are at a specific common revision level.
When you create a collection, you can add artifacts

When you create a collection from live artifacts, the collection functions in a manner similar to tags. But since collections are artifacts, you can link them to and from other artifacts, embed them in text documents, create reviews from them, and perform other actions on them.

When you create a collection from a snapshot, the collection always shows those version of the artifacts from the snapshot, thereby preserving the artifacts as they existed at a specific and meaningful point in time. You can still modify the artifacts outside the collection, but the artifacts in the collection remain unaffected by these changes.
