❓ Issue/Question

  • When trying to "Publish to library," the “Select a collection (Required)” dropdown shows “No options” even though collections exist in the platform.

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • Go to Configure > Users, find the affected user, and open Edit user.

  • Go to the target collection and make sure it has that same tag applied to it.

  • Log out and log back in (using Chrome, if possible) to make sure the change is reflected.
  • Try to publish the media from Live/FTP and check if the destination collection appears as a selectable option in the Select a collection dropdown 

 

🥚 Cause

  • Tag access restrictions limit users to collections containing at least one of their restricted tags. Collections without matching tags won't appear in the "Select a collection" dropdown.
