Problem after creating a collage in the print module

Have discovered that the only thing I can do with this collage is to print it. I cannot export it or bring it into the library. Does this sound right?

You can also 'preserve' your collage layout as a 'Print Collection' in the catalog by [Create Saved Print]. This enables you to recall the layout, including the 'saved' photos, to reprint (to paper or JPG) from LrC at any time in the future.

And don't forget to save your collage layouts as Print Templates.

I did print to jpeg and did create a saved print. I set a collection as a target collection. hen i went to add collage to that collection only one image went into it.

I should admit at this point that Adobe technical support also said that the only thing I could do with the collage was to print it. f I wanted to include into the Library I would have to use Photoshop.

I almost have it. Finally discovered PRINT TO FILE. I saved the collage to a folder in the library but when I went to the folder I only see the separate individual images from the collage- not the finished collage.

[Print to File] will save your collage image to a folder (that you nominate) on the hard-drive, but it does NOT add it into the LrC Catalog.

This you have to do by Importing the new file, either by the Import dialog, or (if you saved it to a Folder that exists in the Catalog)- do a [Synchronize Folder] action on the folder.
