Working with collections

2 questions... and my guess is the answer to both is no...
Can you nest one collection inside of another one. IE... lets take Bibles. Right now I have Bible's that I just want to open and read... HCSB and the Jewish Publication Society Bible. But I have a collection of study bibles, a collection of interlinear bibles, a collection of ancient manuscripts, DSS and MT
And I'll probably have the same sub collections with Dictionaries, Encyclopedias, Commentaries...
And if I can avoid having 30 or so collections... it would be nice.

Secondly
I started a collection that I'm calling Ancient Text. Which so far has greek, roman, egyptian  and babylonian ,ugaritic .... I need to break this collection into sub collections. Is there a way,to move a resource from one collection... OR from the "include this" list, or the "Exclude this" list to another collection. I dont think I can have more than one collection window, open at a time.

I get that tagging is a thing... since tagging does work on mobile devices and collections doesn't... my aim is use tagging manage things on my mobiles.

Making collections is rewarding... it's a lot like going to the book store... you see all kinds of titles that you may have forgotten that you have and you want to be able to find them more easily, the next go round.

    Yes, just drag it from the collections menu to the plus these resources section on the left

    Is there a way,to move a resource from one collection

    No, but if you are using collection rules you can duplicate the rule then add the new additional selection criteria.
