In Kolibri Studio I’m creating a Collection of all of the channels I am using in a specific country. Since it’s a Spanish speaking country, many of the channels are only accessible using channel IDs. How do I add channels to my Collection that are only accessible via channel IDs?  
Thanks,  
LarryY

Hello @LarryY,

Thank you for your inquiry. You may need to publish your channels if they are not showing up under the collection’s channel selection list. Collections only allow published channel selection to prevent some channels from showing up in Studio’s collections, but not on Kolibri (unpublished channels are not available to import into Kolibri). If you are still unable to access channels after publishing them, please let me know which channels you are trying to access, and I will look into them further. Hope this helps!

Hi Jordan,

They’re not my channels. These are the channels I want to add to my Collection:

Hello @LarryY ,

We currently do not allow users to create collections with channels they don’t have access to in order to prevent people from accessing content that was meant to be private. However, I am looping in @schandra, our content library manager, as some of these channels may be made publicly accessible in the future
