I can't see an 'update' button, unless you mean that one with pointers
round in a circle, and that doesn't seem to do what you're saying.  I
may of course be wrong but it's far from obvious.

When I go to Collections I see a list of three sorts of collections,
on the one I'm seeing at the moment only the Local Collections one has
an entry, called 'pictures'.

Against 'pictures' there are two buttons to click, one is the rotating
arrows I refer to above and the other is a dustbin for deleting it
(presumably).  If I click the two rotating arrows I get a box saying
"Your collection will use this this category", are you saying this
will actually *copy* my collection?  It would appear so but I have to
say it's far from obvious.
