Umbraco Collection Action
What is it?
Collection Actions are buttons that appear in a collection's toolbar, providing actions that can be performed on the collection as a whole (not on individual items - those are Entity Bulk Actions). Common examples include "Create New" buttons or export functionality. Actions can either execute code or navigate to a URL.
