trying to create a new collection

I am trying to create a new collection. when I click "add to collecition" there WAS the option to create a new collection. where did that option go?

@pichick712 Frustratingly, that workflow has stopped working with the Collections upgrade so you have to create a collection first before you can add products to it (it's a pain and I really miss being able to create a new collection that way)

This IS counterproductive. Selecting multiple items that were recently made, and creating a NEW collection for them was a very streamlined process. Now having to create the new collection from the Collection Management area, and then go back and find the new items ( or perhaps the search from the ADD PRODUCTS in the new system might work OK???) - seems to be adding more unnecessary steps.
