62The Create view is used to create the collection by running Greenstone
63collection-building scripts on the information you have provided.
64Clicking "Build Collection" initiates the collection building process. The time
65this takes depends on the size of the collection and the number of indexes
66being created (for huge collections it can be hours). A progress bar indicates how much of the process has been completed. To cancel the process at
67any time, click "Cancel Build".

70Once the collection has successfully built, clicking "Preview Collection" will launch a web browser showing the home page of the collection.

74In Expert mode, you can use the "Message Log" entry at the left to review previous attempts to build the collection, whether successful or not. Select the log you want by clicking on the desired date in the "Log History" list.
