    • The collection name will be created if it doesn't exist yet.
    • If no collection name is specified, i.e. the ID string doesn't end with ( / ) or ( | ),
      then the document will be added to the @empty collection.

    • The current collection name is initially suggested.
    • Any other collection name of your choice can still be entered,
      document creation will be handled as described above in 'Create New Document'.
  • 2 - Edit document content

    • Edit the document fields
    • If all the documents in the collection have the same 'structure', i.e. same fields,
      then the initial document content showing will be those fields.
      (In the above example the fields are: 'ID Type' & 'Name')
    • If not all documents share the exact same fields,
      then the initial document content will be just the initial template as in 'Create New Document'.

    Note: the first document was created from node 'A' while the other one from node 'B'.

  4. GUID
    This ID was generated by leaving the document ID field empty and just clicking 'Save'
