Assets Collections Cache

[#1]

Hey All,

I have created a component that uses collections. For example in the collection you put images and in my component you select the collection and the component will show images in a grid fashion. The problem I am having is, when images are put into a collection the collection doesn't update on dispatcher. It looks like the dispatcher is caching the collection (collection is just a reference to the other images). I was wondering if there is a way I can "publish" a collection.

I found another issue, the collection doesn't have a way to publish? I removed an image from collection and it never made it to the publisher.

No answers yet? maybe I don't understand collections then. Lets say I build a collection in "/content/dam/collections/public" and in a component I want to find out what is in the collection, how can I do that?
