Importing or adding photos to a new album from a folder on computer

Question

Maybe I just can't figure it out but why can't I just drag and drop photos that are already imported from a folder on my computer into a new album to share. It just says photos are already imported with no option to just add those selections into the new album. Also why can't I organize photos in an album by ones that have been "liked" or "commented" on. If there is a way to do this please tell me. If not.. that is terrible.

Hey, @Jacob T Fresh. I'll clarify this to you. Images from your computer, when dragged into Lightroom, triggers the import behavior & result in the images being flagged as duplicates.

The best way to add images to albums is to drag them from the All Photos section in Lightroom & drop them into your shared album.

Currently, the filter based on activity (likes & comments) isn't available. You can filter based on start ratings & flags from the contextual search bas at the top while in a shared album.
