Smart Collections

This page contains pre-release documentation for a feature that will be introduced in a future release of Character Map UWP.

Smart collections are automatically updating collections that you define with search filters. The syntax follows the Font Family Search Syntax. Only one filter can be active for each option. A smart collection can contain multiple filters. You cannot manually add a font to a smart collection.

To create a new smart collection, go to Settings -> Collections -> Create New.
