Do not mark a trackable you release as "Collectible". Mark those 'Not Collectible'. Yes, if you mark a trackable as "Collectible" and release it a person can mark it as "In My Collection" and not see it when they drop the bug or coin and log the cache and it get lost because it doesn't get logged, or they misplace it and forget about having it and never look for it. Gone. So don't mark your "public" or released items as "Collectible." Mark them 'Not Collectible' -Team Jimni

Sure, glad to help. It only pertains to your own trackable items that you own, bugs, coins, whatever. If you noticed when you log a cache, when you have trackable items in your possession, or "inventory," they will show in the list of items to chose from to drop in the cache when you log it, yes? Well, when you own an item that you do not wish to release, you can now mark it "collectible" and it will not show up in your "inventory list" when you log a cache. We own several collectible coins, and have for years. Until I did some maintenance today I didn't see the new feature either. It is very nice. We have created a cache that we never publish and just leave our collectible coins in their. With this feature we will no longer need to have a "Home base" unpublished cache for our collection. Does that help clear it up for you? Only concerns inventory items, or collectible coins, tags, etc. you own and do not wish to release. -Team Jimni
