Collection Not Appearing for Editor Role

I have a collection of locations and I would like my "editor" role to be able manage them. In the "options" for the collection under permissions, it was set to editable by "everyone" and them if I logged in with an editor account "Collections" menu does not appear. So I unchecked everyone and manually checked "Editor" and it's still not accessible by that role.

Also, if I click "included in app menu" it does show up for that role (editor), but this isn't the way I prefer it to work.

Is there another place I need to look? I don't see anything under Users, Roles, Editor, that mentions collections.

What privileges does your Editor role have?

And you're saying that they don't see the Collections option in the navigation under Pages?

Just to be clear, logged in as an Editor, this is what I see. Red box added for dramatic effect.

Ok, they need the content.collections.manage privilege

Sounds good. Where is content.collections.manage privilege located? The above Role details screen capture is all the options I see.

It should be in that list. If it's not then I'm going to need to take a look at it for a future update.

This is discouraging. Just spent a good bit of time moving content away from Events app to Runway content to be able to have client use collections to easily manage locations.

Have you added the collection to a page or to the apps menu?

Adding it to the page will be a fine compromise. Thank-you for your assistance.
