So, I have configured the driver according to wiki.

"Manual management: calibre updates the metadata and adds collections only when a book is sent. With this option, calibre will never remove a collection.
Only on send: calibre updates metadata and adds/removes collections for a book only when it is sent to the device.
Automatic management: calibre automatically keeps metadata on the device in sync with the calibre library, on every connect"

I suppose I choose the Automatic management.

Does this mean that, when connected the device, I can manage the collections on the device. That is, for example, add a specific existing collection name to a specific book? Or change the existing collection names already set to a book, specified in the collection column field? See my previous explanation two replies up.

And can I completely manage collections on the device from calibre. That is, create new collections, edit them, add them to books, remove them from books, delete them?

But, how can I add the device collections names to the calibre library view? So that they are in synch.
