# Saving Records in a Collection

After conducting a search you can add the results to an existing collection. 

You can select records by holding down the SHIFT key and selecting sequential records from the search results; by holding the OPTION key and clicking on individual records; or by clicking on the button with three dots on the upper-right corner of the results display to select an entire page of records (the number of records displayed per page can be set by following [these instructions](/navigating-and-searching/options-for-displaying-search-results.md)). 

Then drag and drop your selected records directly into the collection shown in the [Quick Access column](/using-census-data/user-accounts-and-personal-collections/the-quick-access-column.md).

You can also save the entire result of a search in a new collection. To do this, click on the button with three dots on the upper-right corner of the preview window.

You will then be asked to name your search. Click **SAVE**, and you will find your search under the selected heading:
