Exactly as they state: Click and drag a thumbnail from the Grid view onto the Collection you want to add it to. If the particular image or copy is already in the Collection you drag it to, Lightroom will not allow you to add it twice. I have no idea why it would not work on your system. Perhaps you're not giving Lightroom that momentary pause required for it to know that you've clicked and dragged the image? I find this happens to me occasionally. An alternative is to select the thumbnails in either the Library grid view or the Film Strip panel and control-click on the Collection you want to add them to. Pick the "Add Selected Photos To This Collection" command ... Lightroom will add them as requested. A nice touch ... if you have a folder or collection selected in grid view and hover the mouse over a Collection, Lightroom will highlight all the files from the current location that are already included in the collection you are hovering over.
