No sync icon in Lightroom Classic

Hello!  I want to sync my desktop LR catalog to LR mobile.  However, there is no little sync symbol beside my collections so I cannot do tell it what I want synced.  I do have syncing turned on under my nameplate.  And the collections are not smart collections.  As you can see there is only a syncing symbol available on one collection.  I have downloaded the most recent version of LR from my CC subscription.  Can anyone help me?

    Please state the version NUMBER of your Lightroom (and not words like "most recent")

    I believe when the icon indicates a "Collection Set", as with your icon for 2018 Personal, that "Collection Set" cannot be synced with LR Mobile; however the individual collections within the Collection Set ought to be able to sync.

    You actually do have one collection called "Click Pro" that has the share "icon" that can be selected. As has been stated, it must be a collection and not a collection set.

    What you’ve selected is not a collection, but a collection set. You can’t sync a set. You have to expand the set and sync the collection(s) inside that set. Look at the bottom of the panel. There you’ll see a ‘Click Pro’ collection and the sync icon is there.

    Thank you, everyone! (I knew that   ‍♀️).  I’m amazed at how quickly the files back up for being full sized files.  It works wonderfully well!
