Hi all, Using the batch CSV editor won't work, as this just allows items to be added to collections, not to communities.
There is no way in the user interface to put collections into multiple communities, although I think the database might support it. Try looking at the community2collection table, as you might be able to assign a collection to multiple communities in there.
