Using the collection creator

After the collection creator has been enabled, the box as seen below is shown above each wiki page.

The collection creator interface
Add this page to your collection
Adds the currently viewed page to your collection.
Show collection
Opens a new page which will show a list of all pages that you added to your collection. On that page, you can change the order of the pages in your collection and structure them using chapters. Further, you can download the books as a PDF or ODF, or order a printed book.
Suggest pages
This tool analyzes the current set of pages in your book and suggests pages that might be also relevant to the overall topic of your collection. This tool allows to create collections quickly.
Disable
This will disable the Collection creator and delete your collection (unless you saved it first).

Adding pages without visiting them

A quick way to add pages is to simply hover on a linked page. If you wait about one second, a small box will pop up with the message "Add linked wiki page to your collection". Click on this link, and the linked page will be added to your collection.

Hovering your mouse over links is a convenient way to add pages to your collection

Adding whole categories

If you are viewing a category page, you can add all the pages in that category at once. The Add this page to your collection link will have changed into Add this category to your collection. Click on this new link, and all the pages in that category will be added to your collection. Relevant categories may be found at the very bottom of Wikibooks pages. Categories can also be added by hovering category links.
