## Discussion

Discussion Transient collection lists are not saved to local storage or iCloud and do not appear in the Photos application or other apps using the Photos framework. A transient collection can be useful if you’ve designed a UI for displaying the contents of a collection list and want to display an arbitrary set of collections.
