Because when someone searches for collections and shelves is used, the search will fail.

When you talk about collections, use the term collections instead of shelves as most people will search for collections and not find your post because you've used shelves. |

The help page states "For Collections columns, enter series (all lowercase). (Or if you want Kobo's Collections to be populated with your Shelves in Calibre, enter #myshelves)" Which I don't understand really. |

For example, at one time I used "#genres" for collections (I now use a template). Some people use "tags". Or "#my_important_kobo_collections_column". Or whatever. |

Why does it bother having "lookup name" and "column heading" when it needs to be the same? |

You use the lookup name, with the '#' if it is a custom column. |

Now I'm really confused I thought when you said "You put in the lookup name of the column that contains your collections" that I should put the name of the column that I have just made.

So is this correct if I want to have the collections I choose in Calibre to be on my Kobo Glo HD?

Put the lookup name of the column that contains your collections into the driver. Like this: |

Given that you didn't give a complete example I can't be sure what you are doing. From the image it seems that you want to put #myshelves into the Kobo driver collections box. You then put the collection names you want for each book into the #myshelves column.

And I don't even know if when I have sorted Calibre out it will update the Kobo with the collections, or whether it only does this on loading the book to the Kobo
