Are folders in collection also noted to be in collection in the folders section of the library?

Are there indicators to know your folder is in a collection without checking collections.

Folders are never part of collections. Only photos are part of collections.

True, only photos are in collection. I see folder names under under collections and the same folder name above under folders. I am looking for an indicator to know if I have put the photos into collection. Thank you for the help.

You can have a collection with the same name as a folder. That can be done manually of course, but a special way to do it is if you drag a folder from the folder panel into the collections panel. What happens then is that a new collection will be created with the name of that folder and the images inside that folder. Maybe that is what you did.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Folders are not in collections, only images are. Every image is stored in a folder. An image can only be in one single folder. Collections are a kind of list. An image can be in as many collections as you want. Compare this to a membership list. As one single person you can only be in one place at a time. But your name can be in the membership list of the local photo club, the local football club, the local chess club, the local library and many more lists.
