Add products in collection back end not working

Not sure if this is a known issue (I saw a few other posts but they seemed to be different) or it’s just me but when I’m in a collection and click this “Add products” button - 

the window pops up, thinks for a second, no products load and then it’s gone. I can’t add products.

I’ve tried on two different browsers. I’ve seen this for awhile but been able to work around it by adding from the back end of my store or the product individually but today this is a new collection, so that doesn’t work.

Any help or insight appreciated!

I am experiencing this problem today also. I cannot add products to a collection either way:
Method 1: Open the collection, choose add products - I get a brief window pop up that seems to indicate my product will be added to the collection, then it quickly disappears and puts me back in the collection with no product added.
Method 2. On the product page in my store, I select the product and “add to collection”. My collection does not appear anywhere in the list of collections in the pop up window for that store.
It is a new collection I only created this morning, so perhaps it needs time to index before I can add products to it, but this is not normal behavior in my experience. The single product that appears in the collection was done when I selected the product in my store, then “add to collection”, then “create new collection”. After that, the collection will not allow any additional products to be added.
Here is a link to the collection: https://www.zazzle.com/collections/holiday_baking_christmas_cookies_kitchen_ideas-119942655851530948.

I reported last week that there were issues with the cross sell slots not homing in on the slot’s department. https://community.zazzle.com/t5/technical-issues/cross-sells-behaving-badly-when-clicking-on-slots/m-p/222453 

Not heard anything back but the issue remains for me (even though @Padraig  couldn’t replicate)

Maybe related (but maybe this is a new bug)

@DancingPelican   Not seeing any products in your collection - that could be an indexing thing if there are new products + new collection

@Lea  are you on a mac or windows? Desktop or mobile? 

I’m on a Mac desktop - tried both Firefox and Safari

Oh yes I noticed this too!

@Lea  It could be the way that the website is rendering images (I noticed they’ve change some rlv.zcache.com to webp’s (as opposed to jpegs) so it could be an issue with older macs not being able to view them. 

But I have no idea (window’s gal)

as an edit - try updating your browsers to the latest versions (if you haven’t already)

They are updated 😕. My workaround works now that the collection is showing up so it’s not a huge deal, but would be nice to have it functional.

Thanks, Sara. Normally, I have been able to add products to a collection as soon as I create them. Today was different. I’ll just wait and see if they index and try again later.
