60d02b336eShort description of error
When trying to link a collection, the folder inside the library .blend file that is usually called "collections," is missing.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

I have the same Problem.
Turning off Filter is a workaround for now, it seems that the Objects & Collections Blender IDs filter does not do what its name says.
@EnzioProbst correction, after playing around with it it seems that the filter icon for "Collections," and "Objects," are combined, and clicking it multiple times toggles between the two.
@ZachHixson ooh right, but it doesn't seem like it's behaivour is like it should be, after a few clicks / shift + clicks, it toggles both objects and collections together instead of switching between the two, somehow the logic behind it seems weird.
@EnzioProbst I agree, sorry for not clarifying: The behavior is definitely not correct, I was just posting my observation to possibly help lead developers do the solution.
Added subscriber: @mano-wii
I can't reproduce the problem. Every file I tested has a folder called "Collections" when linking or appending.
Are the steps to reproduce the problem well described?
@mano-wii It seems to work in 2.82
For 2.81 i testet it on two different Windows 10 machines and a linux machine. I get the same broken behaviour everywhere but only in 2.81. It seems to work normal in 2.82.
I can confirm that it's broken in 2.81, but works in 2.82.
Considering it was working a couple of days ago with a fairly recent build of 2.81 my guess isn't that they fixed it in 2.82, but instead changed something which broke it in 2.81 and that change hasn't been transferred to 2.82 yet.
I'm still a but fuzzy on the new Bcon schedule, but this seems like the most likely option with my understanding.

@EnzioProbst try un factory reset start in blender 2.81
@nokipaike factory resetting didn't fix it on my linux machine (havent't tried it anywhere else yet)
@mont29, any idea what might have caused this?
If there was any correction in this area, I believe it should go to the 2.81 release brach.
Added subscriber: @mont29
Have no idea, afaik nothing changed and that’s working well for me here (linux, morning’s build). But busy with the bconf stuff, so unless I can get reproducible steps not much I can do here currently.
I tested on the release branch.
Just click File -> Append and choose any blend file.
You realize that the folder called "Collections" does not appear in this case.
I will investigate a bit to see if I find something.
Once and for: I CANNOT REPRODUCE! So please do not assign until you actually know HOW to reproduce the issue. And which commit caused it (do regression). Then at least you know who is responsible for it. Waste of time otherwise.
Well, you didn't say exactly if you used the release branch or master. I thought the extra information would help.
But I believe I found the commit that fixed the problem in master.
I will assign for the right person ;)

That’s just 'Collection' ID type being not selected by default, for whatever reason… That’s @JulianEisel who has been handling this, so will let him 'fix' that.

@mano-wii: this one is for @JulianEisel, this has been reported before, see #70921 (Collection Images and Lights disabled by default in Linking / Appending [commit is missing in release branch]), will actually confirm that one then (and probably set to High prio since this can be annoying...)
