Dear Community,
Some more new features released this week! We have just introduced CollecOnline Classic and Premium (details of these services in this article) yet many new and useful features to help you manage your collection are still coming in for free. In addition to the advanced features, we continue to developp free upgrades and functionalities in order to make your experience always more enjoyable.
Introducing a “Like” button
We are pleased to announce the release of a much-anticipated feature, the famous "Like" button!
As collectors we love to share our treasures and discoveries, because we preserve a piece of history in a form of an object that fascinates us but also because sharing is caring and we all are nice people around here. Pressing "Like" on an object is a great way to congratulate its collector, keep track of a beautiful artefact or an interesting discovery, and also bookmark it to save all liked object in Favorites.
The Awards
In order to show appreciation, encourage participation, reward active members and -of course- simply fun, you can find a few awards to unlock on your profile page.

Everything happens at the level of the "News: All" button on the top right of your wall.
